you know that Einstein used to smoke cigarette butts he found on the ground.

Cigarette butts are by far the worst. Obviously there's much larger issues with other kinds of trash, but there's nothing as pervasive as the cigarette butt.

Listen, if you have to smoke when you're out in the back country or some place where there isn't a trash can, put the [expletive] butt in a bag or something and take it with you. Seeing discarded cigarette butts on a pristine trail or beach is pretty disheartening. It's like there's no place left to go in this world without seeing trash.

I agree 100000% with all said here and especially with the cigarette butts. I've been so extremely tempted several times to pick up someone's at a stoplight & tell them "you dropped this", as was mentioned earlier!!

I just sincerely do not understand the thinking (if any) behind "well, I'll just toss this down so someone else can pick up, 'cause I'm to dam@#$@# lazy" mentality!

at least cig butts are mostly paper and will break down reasonably fast.

Actually, the filters are made of a kind of plastic that's very resistant to breaking down. They never truly "biodegrade", and the time it takes them to basically fall apart can be up to 10 years - although some sources say it's as short as one or two years.

That's more along the line of what I was thinking.

well now i have to go back to being pissed when i see it happen. I dont smoke and everytime i see one thorwn out i think at least its just paper.

I used to throw alot of beer bottles at signs but about the only thing i throw out the window anymore is a toothpick or apple core.

I say that tossing unfiltered cigarette butts out the window is okay because they burn themselves away.

Those filtered butts last forever, I'm sure.

Does anyone (with the exception of a very small few) smoke unfiltered cigarettes anymore?

real men do.

(only a joke...I hate cigarettes of all kinds with a passion.)

I remember being once told that a lot of folks had switched to unfiltered cigarettes to get their nicotine fix more cheaply after the government settlements and the increase in cigarette taxes. Not really sure how accurate it was though.

I don't use a filter on my crack/meth pipe. I hope this helps.

I don't think so. The only person I know is my dad but he's smoked them for like 50 years. I think it's safe to assume that when you see someone tossing a cigarette butt that it's filtered.
