I don't understand why many cigarette smokers think it's okay and not littering to throw their cigarette butts out the window. This is terrible for the environment and is just as bad as throwing regular trash out your window.
Worse, in southern Arizona - carelessly tossed cigarette butts cause fires here. Much of the year, the grasses and brush along the sides of the road are so dry, we have "Extreme Fire Danger" signs. And STILL people throw their lit butts out the windows!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am so anti-anti-smoking that I border on pro-tobacco.
However, I have no disagreement with enforcing littering laws. For me it doesn't matter if it is a cigarette butt or the wrapper from some overpriced Whole Foods granola bar, your ass have a ticket printed out.
Although, I would be lying if I said that I never litter.
Cigarettes cause SO many health problems in so many different ways, and also lead to increased national heatlh costs - costs that are in vain, because smoking-related diseases are preventable - don't smoke, tools!
So when they die early from smoking, you won't have to pay the extra 30 years or so in social security payments for an old person who does not contribute to society, but just receives payments and benefits from you as a taxpayer. Sounds like a push to me. So maybe you should get off their nuts, you think?
THis just out of hostility to smokers. This is simply out of hatred. There is no rational basis. Imagine if they banned clothes that only homosexuals wore. it would never be allowed.
THis is hatred directed towards a group of people, yet libbies will ignore that fact.
So according to you Obama should not be able to smoke anywhere. Just about everywhere he goes is a "public place."
Sorry B.O. you are out of luck.
