What's fun is the A-hole in front of you on the highway who throws the lit butt out the window while I'm on my motorcycle. Nice spark explosion in the face is always pleasant.

They shouldn't throw butts anywhere! Especially the lake!!

Years ago, we had to clean up lots of filters that came to the beach in the spring form ice activities.
That has all pretty much gone away. Over time, the other butts will diminish. Yes, sooner is better than later.
I hope threads like this one will make smokers, spitters and others more aware that "carry in, carry out" applies to lakes as well as to parks, hiking trails, etc.
Mostly, I think, smokers are older than teens and have been tossing butts overboard for a long time. Habit, not bad intention.

And people who let their dogs crap on sidewalks. I often ponder what makes these people different.

I had a neighbor who let their dog crap on the sidewalk near me. One day I confronted him and told him what he was doing was against the law. He replied, "The law does not apply to me". I called the cops and had them have a little talk with him...Alphonso doesn't let his dog crap on the sidewalk anymore.

Get the boats CF# and report them for littering. A butt for evidence would be great...

Buttheads!

I worked pumping gas when I was a lad and few times had people pull up and while I was pumping their gas a hand would come out the window and dump their ash try on the ground. The garbage can was on the other side of the car but they just couldn't be bothered. Some people are just slobs.

Used to see it all the time at stop lights when there were more ash trays in cars. Door opens, ash tray gets dumped.

One time on my motorcycle, same thing, except the butt landed in my lap and went up my shorts. I was lucky I didn't drop the bike.

Absolutely amazing. My wife and I ride also and we've had to quickly swerve to avoid being hit by burning cig butts.
Would these people feel comfortable lighting a match and throwing it out the window? I guess they would......
