Throwing lit cigarettes into trash cans will get you into more trouble than littering.
Especially when nobody cares enough to enforce littering norms.

So throw them in the trash can when they're not lit?
lol I don't get that. If it's not safe to put something in a trash can, it doesn't mean you drop it on the sidewalk. Only with cigarettes do people think that way. With other things, it's obvious that you need to take the effort to dispose of it properly.
Does stepping on it put it out all the way? You could step on it, pick it up, and throw it out. Or pour water on it for good measure.
If there isn't a practical way to dispose of it safely, maybe it's best to not smoke right now, until you're near an ash tray or whatever. Or carry a disposal method with you (like a bottle with water on the bottom).
C'mon, these are people that know they are killing themselves.
They can't be bothered by adding littering to the list.
I bet some do though. I bet there are plenty of smokers who don't litter or smoke right next to people. And we've just gotten used to tolerating what's actually kind of bizarre behavior from the other ones.
I'm describing what they should do and the standard they should be held to. But ya, I see why it isn't surprising that they'd behave like that. (That's why we should start photographing them in action.)
I remember when cigarettes were the greatest things in life.
Couldn't imagine facing life without them.
Now, I know what I was doing to others.
I got sympathy for nonsmokers now that I am one.
When I smoked, I'd have told you to fly a kite.
Ain't addiction grand?
All it takes for bad to hold the field is for good to sit on the sidelines.
hehe, I like that quote!
Glad you're a non-smoker these days!!! #angel
Me, too.
It's one of the good things being a social revolutionary has gotten me.
