Cigarette butts are litter.

Most people would say they don't really find littering to be acceptable. Would you just toss a wrapper on the ground instead of in a trash can? Probably not. Most people wouldn't. They find the idea of littering to be just wrong. It's unsightly, and somebody eventually has to take care of that trash, so most people recognize this and don't just toss things out their car windowns or on the ground. But most, or many, people who smoke, it seems to me, don't seem to think of cigarette butts as liter. They are. They don't just magically disappear. Somebody has to clean them up. If you've ever had a job where you occasionally had to clean up litter, you know that probably 90% of it is cigarette butts. Most people won't throw a candy wrapper out the window, but many have absolutely no problem throwing out cigarette butts. Most cars have ash trays. Perhaps smokers don't always dispose of their cigarettes in their car ash trays because they think that's gross. Well they're right. Cigarettes are disgusting. Litter is dusgusting. Don't make me suffer the disgustingness of your gross habbit just because you don't want to. Quit smoking or quit littering.
