smokers who throw butts on the ground are litterbugs...if butts are biodegradable how come they are in my yard still after 9 years when i dont smoke and no -one that visits me smokes at my place..we need the tough anti littering laws like in japan then people would clean up after themselves

Throwing butts on the ground is nothing else than littering. I hate it when people do that. Unfortunately, the majority of smokers seems to do this and not care about it at all.
Smokers are an inconsiderate bunch. Of course not all of them, but my experience is that most of them are. They smoke around others and throw butts on the ground. They don't seem to care much about others when it comes to smoking.

Throwing Cigarette Butts on the window is littering and doing so sometimes causes Fires especially when a Drought is occuring.

That's a nice generalization there!
I'm a smoker and I don't litter, not even my butts, thanks.
Get a perspective.

I don't know about all of them being both rude and litterbugs but I do see cigarettes being thrown out the window a lot. Not to mention, the people who stand next to you and blow their smoke in your face. When we move away, they get insulted like we're supposed to sit their and smell them or something. Whatever. They can kill themselves if they want to. I don't wanna inhale their deadly fumes.

Yes, they are litterbugs. I can see not wanting to put the butt in their pocket while it is still hot, but even if they visit often enough to make a pile of butts they don't pick up the old ones.

They already litter their lungs so why do you think they ought to care about where they throw their litter?

Not only is it bad and it IS littering, it can cause a fire!

I guess if they're filling the air with carcinogens, they might as well cover the ground with junk too.
