It's littering but some would consider it a relatively small offense. There are also laws against jaywalking, for example.

no. over time the amounts add up, but i'm sure the paperwork isn't worth it. i'd rather catch the person for speeding.

yes, its littering, and I have actually been hit by a lit cigarette through my open passanger window from the guy that was driving in front of me.

What if it was a marihuana cigarette?

Then you charge them with littering, throwing flammable material out of the car, AND possession of Marijuana...

PLUS, if they have any "unsmoked material", you get a free stash!
PROFIT!!


Far too many roadside fires (grasslands, forests, etc.) are caused by inconsiderate smokers. I have ZERO tolerance for people who throw lit cigarettes out of their car windows...

Yeah, I'd say it's the most accepted form of littering. Everywhere you go you see cig butts.

But cigarettes thrown out a window could cause brush fires in dry regions.

Absolutely. But I would probably ignore speeders (provided they weren't being reckless) so I think it would balance out. I disagree with the cash-grab speed laws that are in place on most roads - especially highways with artifically low limits.

There are few things I hate more than driving behind someone and getting hit with a *&$# lit cigarette butt tossed out a window.

They're hurting themselves and clogging up the health care system with their lung/cancer issues, they make places stink, they're polluting, and then to top it all off they litter!?! Hell yes i'd give the person a ticket.
