hey… i can’t speak for all smokers, but only for myself. as i ‘learned’ to smoke, everyone i saw smoking flicked their butts on the ground. so i did the same. the only time i wouldn’t would be when i found myself in front of a building, and saw someone sweeping; then i’d cruch it on the heel of my shoe, and throw it in the garbage. but if i was driving or walking, i’d always flick my butt. it was not until i went to visit friends in colorado that my eyes were opened to the fact that butt flicking is littering. i was in a car with a friend (also a smoker), and flicked a butt out the window. he screeched to a halt, and reamed me! not only was i polluting his fair state (no arguement there), but i was risking a pretty large fine. i don’t remember how large, and won’t exaggerate, but i was quite shocked at the amount of money. i never saw butt dumping as littering… call me stupid, slow, selfish, etc. i’m just tellin’ ya straight up. now that i do see it that way, i have broken the habit of flicking… now i just gotta kick the other crummy habit.
