Cigarette butts kinda pale in comparison, don't they?

All of the anti-smokers who never drink their tap water and don't use reusable grocery bags have a lot of explaining to do.

I propose some HEFTY DEPOSIT TAXES!

You do realize that cigarette butts are plastic?

Did I say they weren't?

The point was.....if you are going to require a deposit on cigarettes than you should also require a deposit on plastic water bottles, plastic bags, etc.

I can think of lots more things that could be taxed this way! Yes! I think this deposit tax idea will save the country- financially and environmentally!

I have no problem taxing things that are well known to cause a lot of environmental harm. So you can put up red herrings all day....does not change my mind. Just because there is a problem with other forms of litter does not mean that f********** butts are not a huge problem.

We have fines for litterers.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.......when is the last time you have seen someone fined for throwing a F*********e butt onto the ground?????

Ciggarette butt disposal tax will only lead to an increase of ciggarette butt disposal on the street sides.

What is with these control freak mental cases anyways?

Why do they think they have the right to tell a bar what to do when it comes to legal activity like smoking?

This non sense actually started with Nazi Germany as Nazi Germany funded ads for anti smoking & Nazi Germany provided smoke free rooms for workers.

If that doesn't show the Totalitarian link to smoking control I don't know what does?

How about a tax on all litter materials. Btter eyt a tax on alcolol containers and cigarette rollig papers high enough to pay for the social cost.

I think that every state should mandate a deposit tax that would get reimbursed at recycling centers. Better yet......make it a FEDERAL mandate due to the horrible impact the TRILLION of butts have on the countries environment.

I mandate an EXTRA tax on all coffee consumers, and big macs, chik file's, processed foods, etc.
