(45,319 posts)57. That's not the tone of your OP. At all.
Do you ever sip a can of soda or beer? Shall I, when I see such items littered, assume that all who take such sips also hurl their trash on the side of the road? Someone is doing it. I bet they are pretty fucking casual about it as well. I never see anyone flick a butt. Ever. I do see litter on the ground, most of it is food related. Fucking food eaters. Who do they think they are?

Yep, but there's a spot fine for any form of littering, here, if observed by police.

When I smoked I did not litter and yes, I would even put the butts in my pocket

I am a smoker and there is zero fire hazard to for putting your butts in a garbage can.

No joke, I would always crush it out completely and look for the nearest trash can.
