• Did you ever accidentally set your pants on fire or melt a hole through polyester? This is a real question, by the way, I have no idea whether cigarette butts are still burninating when you’re done with them.

        Just urinate on the butt before you put it in your pocket. It’s still less nasty than throwing it on the ground.

        I’m not a smoker. I never have been. I’ve always been amazed that smokers somehow managed to get society to look the other way at such blatant littering.

        Not the commenter, but you roll the burning part off. The remaining tobacco burns into ash and there’s no (real) littering. It is a form of pollution, but it sort of blows away.
