How many get ticketed throwing cigarettes out the window?

Smokers are very selfish people.

Not all of us.

Easy way to fix this is a $1 per butt deposit law.

Buy a pack of cigarettes, you have to put down a $20 deposit.  Bring the butts back, get your $20 back.

I had thought of that, but there are so many cig butts on the ground that this idea is ripe for abuse.

. . . . . . .

[snicker], that's why the tobacco companies will be underwriting the program.

People will be going pretty much everywhere, including areas that they shouldn't be (private property, highway ROW,  Hogwarts) to find as many cigarette butts on the ground as they can, hoping that the area has not been explored by someone else.

It's like a much more socially beneficial Pokemon Go!

Throw something biodegradable out the window, you get a dirty look. A paper gum wrapper for example will compost no problem on the side of the road, but a cigarette butt won't, that's going to stick around for quite some time, and leech toxins into the soil. At night i see tons of cigarettes being thrown into the road, scattering the embers all over the freeway.

Cigarettes - filter and all - are 100% biodegradable materials. It's just paper, leaves and cellulose. That's it. Ironically, gum wrappers are made of foil paper - metal is not biodegradable.

I am guilty of spitting out gum from the window.  If you have gum on your tires, its probably because of me my bad.

I dont throw anything else out the window though
