Acually, since I smoke...I smoke outdoors at my home and so do my guests....I tell people to please deposit their butts in the planter on the porch....makes for easy clean-up and no butts in the yard!
To bad I can not get the dogs to poop in one central location....

Instead of trying to get dogs to poop in one central location, how about visitors. Believe it or not, my brother's friend came over to pick up something in my brother's truck and had to poop (#2) but no one was at home. So this smart fella decides to poop in my duck pen. I came home later on that evening and found the "present" that he left. I knew that it wasn't any animal that left this. So, I called my brother and told him to tell his friend that I didn't appreciate what he did. I told him to tell his friend that the present that he left for me to clean up would be waiting for him in a plastic bag tied to a tree so that he could dispose of it himself. I also told my brother to tell his friend that he was banned from my propery for the rest of his life. So, can you imagine ME putting on gloves and masks and picking up human feces? I was sooooooooooooooooo mad !.
Needless to say, the friend never came back to get his "property".
Ok, I got a little off track but I had a flashback and had to vent. Sorry. Now back to our regular scheduled program.

I'm sorry but that is so gross it's funny.
Its easy to see a road side fire an say that it must of been a cigarette. That's not really true. Some are but some are tail pipe related an others are from sparks from dragging objects like trailer safety chains.
As for litter aspect of it. All of mine when I smoked went in my driveway. The more the merrier. They attract wild birds so my company can fill my yard full of them, I dont mind.

I do not think it is real smart to generalize all smokers into whatever catagory you are try to fit them into.
Everyone is an individual and makes their own choices, some are good, some not so good. What you are trying to do....I see as not so good!
DITTO!

Most cigarette butts are toxic to birds and other wildlife. They'll eat 'em but it will kill them.

Had a lit butt land in the back seat of my car one day and set my car on fire. I don't smoke. Never have, never will. Cost me big money to repair the damage and it went on my insurance since there was no way to know what idiot had thrown a lit butt out of a moving vehicle.

Those chains don't spark near as much in the ditch as a burning cigarette butt. I have heard of people parking in tall grass and starting fires from their cat converters though. Usually it's a cigg butt from some inconsiderate smoker. Gives them all a bad name unfortunately. Not fair to the responsible cigg smokers.

I had my truck parked in front of my business with the window down. Some jerk walked by and threw a butt in my front seat. Burned a big hole in it. Wish I would have seen him.
