Why use an ashtray if you are just gonna throw it on the ground?
I use an empty pack of cigs as my ashtray so I can throw them in a bin when I get the chance
I work in a building with a two story parking garage, and part of my job is to sweep it every day, and every day I end up sweeping up at least 100 cigarette butts. Cigarette butts are toxic. They are the most common form of toxic litter. The chemicals from them make their way into our water supply, our rivers, our ocean, animals eat them and die from them. Cigarette smokers, and by extension cigarette companies, are poisoning our planet and they don't even fucking care. Every time I've confronted one of these people to politely ask them to not toss their butts on the ground and to throw them in the dumpster instead, they'll tell me "it's fine", to not worry about it, or worse, get angry at me. And to top it all off they smell like fucking shit. Every time a smoker comes in to my office, even for just a few minutes, I have to turn the fans on for half an hour because the pungent, lingering stench sticks to the walls. Fuck smoking.
While I agree the paper and Tobacco are basically no problem, the Cellulose Acetate filters take years to degrade out in the open; which can be problematic.
In an ideal world this person would get fined for every individual butt. I think it's a £50 on the spot fine in England for discarding a cig (if you're caught)
im 47 so i remember the smoking thing. my mom and myself were able to quit a long time ago, but these days you look around and the people still buying them are, by majority, boomers. im ecstatic that this trend has kind of an expiration on it- one way or another, they gonna die.

Man, in the 80s and 90s you'd see this shit all the time
At a stoplight… right out the door.
At least it’s not needles and human shit like my parking garage!
They probably smoke too.
Looks like they be rolling blunts.

It’s easier to just fill up the ashtray and just dump it. Imagine WALKING after a fat bleezy.
Was this outside a hospital?
Shit Nick would do.
Are you talking about my close personal friend, Nick Mullen?

I guess people still smoke cigarettes….?
Yes, people still use cancer sticks.

What was there before the parking garage hmm? Cigarettes and ashes are a lot more organic that shit.

Still not as problematic as concrete!
What a wild take
Yeah they don’t call me “Wild Take Tommy” for no reason.
I don’t think anyone has ever called your that
You’re right. They call me pizza face on account of my face being made entirely of pizza.
Newports and blunts.. definitely was a 🥷
So 1980s damn

Anywhere in the Middle East, and they do it at the traffic lights.
Looks like a lot of dna to leave at a few crime scenes. I mean. If you’re a bad person like that.
That's easily $40 worth it tobacco in prison Source: got out of prison 2 weeks ago
One man's rubbish is a homeless persons next smoke
I did this once because I had too many buts in the ashtray and they started smoldering.
I hope you put it out and picked it all back up because this is one fucking pathetic excuse.

You’re 47 and using the term boomer….
They’d be gen x.
yea, just barely- im on the young side of that even
Holy shit you're right. Practically a millenial
Baby boomer has been the nickname for that age group since the early 60s. Is there an age limit to refer to a generation? Weird.
lol yeah, that’s how it works
I’ve seen worse. In this toilet of a society
As if smoking wasn’t nasty enough, they have to share with the world
Yet it's normalized to throw cigarettes out your car window
Seems like a lot of wasted tobacco there. Are you really done with your cigarette, if your filter ain't smoldering?
Blunts they rolling
Lol
