How come people who smoke just chuck out their empty cigarette packages anywhere?

I don't think it has anything with "being a smoker".\nI smoke, I throw away my empty trash in garbage cans. I even hang onto the empty package if there's not a garbage cans nearby.\nPeople stereotype smokers with all kinds of crap.

I partied at a friends house one time...we hired a band and had kegs.We cleaned up everything we thought...a week later his dad took him and sat him down and dumped a pile of ciggarett butts in front of him. About 100 butts and several different brands. OOPS we forgot the butts from all over the yard. We were busted.

Check the employee break room or the back entrance.  They are usually loitering around smoking.

Most do not, most of us try to take our habit out of the immediate vicinity of non-smokers, it's just that you're more likely to notice the ones that are rude about it and smoke in places where you can't reasonably avoid the smoke... the other thing is that many businesses place ashtrays or other cigarette receptacles very close to the entrance...believe me, you'd never find me with a cigarette near a doorway if more places offered me a decent place to dispose of it that was not right by the entryway.

It's a long list of excuses, I'm sure.  Basically I think people are just too lazy to participate.  They can get to corner to buy a pack of smokes, cash their check, rent a movie, or do any other menial task, but when it comes to being a tiny bit responsible to your country, people get too busy.

Take the cigarette away from it.

I'm a smoker (no, not bragging or trying to justify it....stupid habit). Still, as a smoker, I'm really irritated by smokers who do that. I always use an inside ash tray, besides making sure I'm way downwind of non-smokers even when I smoke outdoors. I think it's just the decent thing to do. Also, throwing cigs out of a moving car window is dangerous, not to mention stupid!

Because it's a chemical dependant.  The chemicals in the cigarette are absorbed overtime and is eventually required by your brain in order to function properly.  So when your body is exhausted or stressed, your body creates a need for the pleasure inducing chemicals in cigarettes.  And yet at the same time, it's causing you harm and raising your risk for fatal infections or conditions, as well as just plain stinking up the place.  Cigarettes do not give you better concentration or raise your I.Q.  It only calms you down when you are stressed.  Good thing I've never smoked.  I wanna live as long as I can and breath easily while I'm doing it.

air is everywhere and the smoke that comes from smokers does not necessarily stay with them, and so people near a smoker can also inhale the smoke coming from these smokers

Last week, I threw a cigarette but on the floor, but I've stopped doing it for good because a woman in my hme twon was recently fined £70/$130 for throwing a "cheesy wotsit" crisp out of her car window!\n\nThis is a picture of a packet of cheesy wotsit for those not living in England!\n\nhttp://walkers.corpex.com/cr15p5/products.asp?snacktypeid=40

Postal workers regularly open packages to see if there is anything worth stealing.  If you've got something illegal in there, chances are they will find it.

I'm guessing most don't smoke, why?  \n\n1) Why waste their own money by spending money for a cig? Even if they are CEO they still got to pay for their cigs, and if they don't they lose a profit of 1 cig..\n\n2) They know what are in thoses and what they're designed to do, you don't even want to know.. But you have to.. They are not going to put that thing in their mouth, they know what goes in there.. Very nasty and scary..

I think almost all cigarettes do this. They create small tears in the lungs to absorb the chemicals faster.

Nope you are falling into the hype machines.\n\nAlmost every smoker of today lived their entire lives from baby on around parents that smoked... sometimes both of them. They are not dieing any sooner than their parents, that most likely live around parents that didn't smoke.

Yeah, I hate people who litter and toss cig butts out the car.  That's ok.  Take comfort in knowing they'll have lung cancer sooner or later.

Because the smokers lungs fill with tar and there isn't as much room for air. They also become less efficient at absorbing oxygen.
