Comment on Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering?
palebluethought@lemmy.world 1 day agoWell, you can’t just blindly throw cigarette butts in the garbage. You’ll start fires. Maybe not if you’re paying attention, but if you’re smoking outside 5x a day you’re bound to slip up eventually. You can only really put them in those specialized cigarette things, which there aren’t that many of

You’ve gotta strip it first. When my buddy came back from the military he taught to roll it around in the fingers until the remaining tobacco falls out, then the trash goes into the pocket until a bin is found.
Although, there’s not a class on that at all. I did my fair share of littering as a smoker. I still feel shit about it, which is why I bring my picker upper stick and an empty bucket with me on walks. It comes back full every time. Water bottles everywhere.

That’s what I do. Flick the tip and carry the butt to a garbage can.
