Does it not count as littering? What am I missing here?

I think a lot of uninformed people just don't care about the environment. Even if they knew the chemical leachate laundry list that comes out of one of those cancer sticks...i doubt they'd care. Not to say that I don't recycle every can that I drink from or recycle every scrap of paper but I see a lot of people that just smoke and toss the burning butts directly into the storm drains or directly onto lawns! What gives!
I think the third party effects have litttle impact on people that are poseurs in a slammed GS430 with spinners.
I have friends who do smoke but are at least conscious in the effect that they will make the extra 10 steps to put out the cigarette in an ashtray rather then tossing it into the street.
