Can someone tell me why smokers think it’s perfectly acceptable to dispose of their used cigarettes on the ground, rather than in a trash can? Every time I see someone throw a cigarette butt out of their car window, I secretly hope that it blows back in through an open back window and sets their car ablaze (and subsequently damages the vehicle, but not any occupants). My blood boils when I have to pull Alyssa and Ryan away from cigarette butts strewn in parking lots and on sidewalks and walkways.

I live with/am engaged to a smoker so I’ve seen it all.
