CMV: You shouldn't just throw cigarette butts on the ground

This one seems like common sense to me, but I see people doing it, so there are apparently a variety of opinions out there. 

In my view, it is wrong to throw a cigarette on the ground; it is littering. There is no special litter exemption for cigarette butts, and they should be disposed of properly like all other trash. 

I know it's not *the worst thing you could possibly litter*, but I am just looking at the right/wrong distinction and not the magnitude of the infraction. 

If it helps, the specific scenario I am picturing is the smoker driving down the road and flicking their butt out the window when they're done, though I believe this view extends to throwing a butt on the ground anywhere except a ground-based receptacle.

Oof. I'll give this a try.

Over 80% of smokers say they would properly dispose of their butts if suitable receptacles were available. It's important to note that cigarettes should not be discarded like trash. Trash can be flammable, and disposing of cigarettes improperly alongside trash can be a fire hazard. In environments where there are no suitable places to dispose of cigarettes, throwing them into the gutter is objectively safer.
