Why wouldn't cigarette butts be counted as litter?

Obviously they're litter, but **** it cause smokers are the next gen humans and you all are just lucky to be in the presence of our trash.

I'd also like to mention the annoyance of people not picking up after their dogs on the trails I hike regularly. Even if it's not where someone's going to step in it, a pile of dog crap is not part of nature. Dogs running all over the place off leash are bad enough.

I've made it a habit now to save my butts and wait til I'm near a trash can. I just tear the excess ash and **** off the filter so that my pocket doesn't turn into a bowling alley ash tray.

Once at my local disc golf course I was so in need of a place to **** that I took a dump in the woods that remained for at least several months. No regrets.

Exactly! The supermarket I go to is pretty much kept in immaculate order on the inside, but the outside is another story. The entrance is not only littered with dozens of butts, the concreted is stained with ash from both employees and customers smoking outside, cause you know by law they can't smoke inside. Even the cigarette receptacle is half melted cause it catches on fire constantly. Flicking a cigarette butt after smoking seems innocuous but I wonder how much money is wasted by businesses by constantly having employees spend time cleaning them up.

Even though its not a consumer goods byproduct another thing Trollheart failed to mention is dog ****. I think someone not curbing their dog is the worse, if you don't agree then definitely in the top five of littering offenses. Three things no one wants step into is dog ****, gum and broken glass. I would say banana peels too but you don't step into it, you step on it. And no one wants to step on a banana peel, if you slip on it it can put a serious hurting in you when you land on your arse.

Gum is pretty bad too cause unlike a half eaten hamburger, which could end up as a meal for a hungry stray down, or maybe a pesky badger, gum on concrete never goes away. Minus one point for dogs shutting on the curb, plus one point for taken care of that hamburger that annoyed Trollheart. I don't know why Trollheart didn't mention gum. You can pick up trash, you can sweep up litter, gum is nearly impossible to get rid of. Besides that little caveat, I think the OP was on point.

They are, of course. All I said is that, as a non-smoker, I wouldn't expect people to hold on to a cigarette butt till they get to a bin. Also, you better make sure it's out or that bin is gonna go on fire. I said I don't like it, but I would see it as the lesser of the evils. It's ugly yes, but not so much as rotting food sitting in the street.
Well fair play to you, Exo. Going above and beyond.
These are obviously bad too. I don't see as much of the dog**** these days though. I think people are beginning to, literally, clean up their act. Glass is bad, but if you drop a glass item I can see why nobody would hang around trying to clean it up. Chances are you would cut yourself. Also, I seldom see glass on the ground, unless a window has been broken, in which case it will be cleaned up by whosever window was broken.
But the comedy value can't be overstated.
Hungry stray + free burger = dog****. Don't see how that's a win. Nobody's gonna clean up the **** of a stray. And we don't have badgers here. Not in the cities anyway.
I did mention gum, gave that a pass too. In 45-odd years walking on Dublin streets I think I've trodden on gum half a dozen times, plus there are now hefty fines for dropping gum. Ad campaigns and everything. Also, it was not an exhaustive or exclusive list in the OP; I was just giving examples.

I'd like to see that girl do an update of this video but for dog ****.
