Another good point: Why do smokers think their butts are not litter? At

the
very least we should be fining them for this.


Do not put all smokers in the same basket. When my DH and I
smoked, we always, always, always threw out butts in a bin. It
is rubbish and belongs in a bin.


as i do & many smokers also do (although at this point i feel like i'm
talking to the walls. sigh. people just *want* to believe all smokers smoke
all over everyone & throw butts everywhere.)

anyway, in australia butts *are* litter & you can be fined for dropping
them, same as all litter (althought it operates on a sliding scale.). you
get a special special fine for throwing them out your car window. (well, you
don't, because the police & litter regulation are rarely acquainted, but it
*is* possible.)
