I smoked for thirty five years... I flicked a butt one day and a person said that it was a disgusting thing I just did and proceeded to tell me how many butts are floating in our rivers,oceans and streams,from that day on I always used an ash tray and never flicked a butt again...

In jersey we have a place called "The Pine Barrens" if a fire takes hold the pine trees light up like matchs... I was always was careful not to flick a butt in the pinies cause I've seen the destruction of a fire there and it was like mile after mile of char...

I don't smoke anymore,well not ciggs,It disgusts me to see people flick butts from there car,if I talk to them I let them know the river and streams story...
