Boy, what an intelligent suggestion! I would have never thought of this! Thank you for your thoughtful comments (not).
I just have to say, generally, in this thread there are a lot of real gems. My original post said (something like) that I was glad to have been made aware of this issue and that I would try to mend my ways.
Sad to say that a lot of these posts look like the sorry combination of "just say no" ism and misguided eco conformists.
Comments like: "Oh, save bambi and don't litter", etc. and "I would love to shove the but right up the guy's"... etc. don't help anything. They just make you sound silly. I'm not trying to justify littering, but really, our environment isn't going to implode b/c of cig butts, really now, really... And go ahead and try your throwing cigs back into cars trick and see how long it takes to get hurt or shot.
If you really care, then do something to make this a known issue. This way, people may change their behaviour. Don't assume all smokers are idiots, etc. because it just makes you sound silly. Smoking is an ADDICTION people. HEllo! What other addiction would it be ok to talk about this way?
Just playing devil's adv. to some degree here b/c there are too many silly just-say-no'ers sounding a tad weird here.
