I smoke about 3/4 of a pack a day and never - never - toss the butts on the ground. The army taught me many years ago that only a sorry SOB litters. It used to chap my hocks then to clean up after them and it still chaps me to see someone carelessly chunck a butt away now or litter in any other fashion. 67% 2 Votes

• i smoke, or just let burn to the butt, about 15 cigarettes a day, maybe up to 20 when stressed out. when i am out, i am usually in my car which has an ashtray that i use.
  
  the problem is that it is sooooo politically incorrect to smoke even though the government will not outlaw it due to the high taxes it gains from tobacco sales that cars are being sold all the time without an ashtray.
  
  another problem is that in order to make their %26quot;point%26quot; against smoking, many places that had those %26quot;butler%26quot; smoker pots in the past outside of lobby doors removed them. the waste baskets are still there, of course. now, that is discrimination against performing a legal act.
  
  you should also know that the cigarette companies sell these little envelopes that are lined with a flame retardant that are used for when you are walking outside, so that once you put the ash out, you put the butt inside of it and put it into your pocket.
  
  and so, in truth, i%26#039;d guess that of 20 cigarettes if i am out all day long, i%26#039;d probably put less than one of the butts onto the street, into a lawn, etc.
  
  i really get weary of smoke nazis blaming smokers for the simple odor of smoke in their hallways (not smoke), causing them to lose their homes, as well as a city like mine imposing a $500 ticket on a person that is found to be smoking a cig on the beach when anti litter laws for all else are not enforced at ALL. for example, plenty of people just toss their hot dog wrappers and filthy baby%26#039;s diapers onto the sand. they break bottles on the lifeguard chairs, leaving dangerous glass in the sand. there are ALL SORTS of garbage products on the public beaches, but no one other than a person caught smoking a cigarette on the beach will be fined for littering, even when the person is smoking and has not put the butt into the sand. else, know that there never was real proof that second-hand smoke causes any diseases at all: the data is skewed. study it, you will see that. and know that many, many people that grew up out in the country that never smelled a whiff of smoke all their lives came down with lung cancer (and other cancers) and died from it. and it is also true that all humans have cancer cells in their bodies from birth. your genetics, diet and other factors, maybe smoking and maybe not always, will or will not %26quot;turn on%26quot; those genes to become tumors. it%26#039;s in your genetic makeup.
  
  i%26#039;d like for you to include this information in your paper. i was a pre-med student, studied all those studies. smoking is the worst addiction there is. whoever makes the drug without side effects that help us quit will become a billionaire. 0% 0 Votes

• I smoked for 17 years, and I believe I threw every single butt on the ground. So thirty cigs a day times 17 years. You can do the math. I also have a bad habit of throwing my dead batteries into the river. 0% 0 Votes
