Smokers Should Keep Their Butts To Themselves

By: Jenna Anderson

Have you ever been sitting in traffic or riding down the road and noticed how many smokers throw their lit cigarette butts out of their car window? What is wrong with people that do that? Do they believe that it is legal to litter? Do they think it is alright to throw a burning object out on the roadside or where ever they happen to be? This is a beef the non-smokers have had with smokers a long time and it is no wonder. No one should go around littering on purpose even if it is just a little cigarette butt.

Another obvious reason that this should not be done it is danger there is of starting a fire. They could start a forest fire or even cause a home to burn down. A car that happened to have a leak of some kind coming by could catch on fire or blow up. There are all kinds of trucks that travel our roadways that carry explosive materials and even though it might be a rare thing, it could cause one of these to explode. It is just senseless for anyone to throw their butts on the ground anywhere.

What about the litter it creates anyway? There is hardly anywhere you can go where you can not find cigarette butts littering the ground. Parks, roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, everywhere. They look nasty and are dangerous for wildlife. Some fish, birds, and small animals try to eat them. It is really not too much to ask that smokers keep their butts to themselves. No one else is allowed to just go around throwing their trash on the ground and cigarette butts should and are not supposed to be any different. Cigarette filters might seem like such a small thing and many people just do not think it is a really big deal, but when thousands of people are doing it thousands of time a day all over the country, it adds up to a really big deal.

It is easy enough to use the ashtray in your vehicle. If a smoker is in public somewhere smoking and there are no ashtrays available, and more and more often there are not, they should put it out on the ground and stick the butt in their pocket until you find a garbage can. They might think that putting an extinguished butt in their pocket is a nasty thing to do, but it is their trash and it is just as nasty for everyone else when smokers throw them on the ground. If you smoke cigarettes, just be considerate to our environment and the rest of people who live here and pick up your butts and dispose of them properly.
