as far as i know throwing a cigarette butt out the window IS littering, i think you can be fined for it

[/ QUOTE ]

I got pulled over for it once... no ticket though. I was like WTF? anyway, most new cars don't come with ashtrays and there fore out the window it goes.

most cars don't come with garbage bags so if i have a mcdonalds bag, out the window it goes

Try to figure this out:

In California we have the "BUZZO LAW." If you throw a lit cig out of your car = $250 fine.

If you litter, $1,000 fine.

My buddy just got pulled over for this last Tuesday. The cop told him the whole thing (since he and my buddy are ex-jarheads). Yes, if the cig was NOT lit, it would have been a $1k fine. Instead, my buddy got a $250 ticket.

Apparently, a few years' back, some guy TRIED to throw a lit cigarette butt out his window, but it went into the back seat of his car. In the back was his kid, nicknamed "Buzzo." The kid got burned up pretty bad.

It has actually been sugested that there be a 5cent deposit on cigarette butts (similar to what is done with soda cans). I think it is a good idea (though I think the deposit should be about $1 per butt). This would stop this littering very quickly.

Usually you can get the "smokers package" for a very small fee.

Well, my cigarette "butts" are a thin bit of paper and some dried leaves. Doesn't really feel like littering. And McDonalds is filth. That [censored] will kill you.
