No like flicking the butt after finishing the cigarette.

Christ, find a toilet and flush them...

Field strip them (twist the rest of the tobacco out of the end until there is only a filter left), and put them in your pocket.

But where will we put the strips? The filter smells too because they suck a lot of the smoke, toxins, and nicotine.

To be honest I don't excuse littering, but I understand how annoying carrying butts are until you find a bin or a toilet. I tried to do that today, sorta burnt my hand after scraping it to put it out so I ended up holding them upright and felt like an idiot so couldn't be bothered and flicked it.

Also there are convenient ashtray tins you can take anywhere with you. So I'll try that...

To be honest I don't excuse littering, but I understand how annoying carrying butts are until you find a bin or a toilet. I tried to do that today once, sorta burnt my hand after scraping it to put it out so I ended up holding it upright and felt like an idiot so couldn't be bothered and flicked it.

The smell is gonna be there yes, but so does your hands and breath, although it may not linger as long as a stripped butt. I do this all the time, and as soon as I see a proper receptacle, I dump what ever butts I've accumulated into it. As far as burning yourself, I keep forgetting others may not have calloused hands like I do. You could always scrape it on the ground or on the side of a wall as an alternative. Grass even works.

I do like the ashtray tin idea.

Just hold the butt below the cherry with your thumb and forefinger and twist it until the cherry falls out. Works every time for me.

Or you can just throw the cigarettes on the ground. Done.

But then you will be grinding my gears.

It's not like their aren't millions of cigarette butts everywhere else. What's one more?
