give it up
It's hard enough to get your average joe to not litter, but smokers have already proven themselves to be completely uncaring that they're poisoning and choking everyone around them. Some people seem to think 'hey, only hurting myself', but secondhand smoke has already been established as having a causal link to cancer, asthma, etc. There is not another vice on the planet so common, that has such horrible repercussions. Expecting someone who doesn't care if they indirectly poison other people to care if they indirectly poison something as ambiguous a concept as possible eco-damage... I mean, come on =p
Not all smokers are uncaring, of course, some are very careful to only smoke in their own homes, not around children, etc. But as a whole group, it should be obvious they're going to be a lot more likely to litter, and clearly more likely to not look at the long term effects of things.
