Guess the driver of the Lexus RX 300 in front of me the other morning didn't have an ash tray.
Why else would she roll down her window and drop her cigarette butt on East Franklin Street in front of the Chapel Hill Museum?
(The average price of a 2009 Lexus RX 300, according to Lemon.Free.com, is $40,298.)

Fri, 08/01/2008 - 11:33 — anon (not verified)They make inexpensive airtight ashtrays for cars that you can put in a cupholder or wherever is convenient if it's so important that you smoke in your car but you bought one without an ashtray or just don't want to use something built in.
There's no excuse for throwing anything out the window of a car. Especially, I might add, at night when the still lit butt tends to flare sparks along the dark road and make other motorists swerve.
Just another reason why
Mon, 09/14/2009 - 12:42 — haloxJust another reason why people should switch to the e-cigarette. There are no cigarette butts or ashes, and no second hand smoke. Itsa win-win-win. Save the environment, save the smoker, save the passer-by.

Cigarettes should be against the law!
Thu, 07/31/2008 - 09:30 — DebrahI hate them!
I hate the smell!
I hate to see the butts littered all over sidewalks and streets!
I hate the way we make excuses for these litterbugs with yellow-nicotine-stained teeth!
Let's lock them up inside the Dental Faculty Practice lab!
Never to be seen again!

Report them to the NC DOT Swat-a-Litterbug program!
Wed, 07/30/2008 - 13:25 — Anonymous (not verified)The NC DOT has a Swat-a-Litterbug program where you can report such incidents. Check out the link at: http://tinyurl.com/5ro6hb Personally, I think that all litterbugs should be required to participate in an adopt-a-highway program as part of a mandated community service program to pick up the cigarette butts they so mindlessly and thoughtlessly toss from their car windows.
Lexus butt

What?

With all the anti-smoking

In NC, this is considered
Tue, 07/29/2008 - 22:08 — Anonymous (not verified)In NC, this is considered littering and subject to a $1000 fine...if a police officer sees it. Short of that, citizens can report the offender's license plate here:
http://www.ncdot.org/doh/operations/dp_chief_eng/roadside/Beautification/Litterbug/salform.html
The (alleged) litterbug gets a letter that states NC's litter law, asks for forgiveness if this is wrong plate/address, and then lays a guilt trip on them about how NC pays millions of dollars ever year to clean up after these litter pigs...ummm... litter bugs.
Personally, I think convicted litterers should have to spend 40 hours picking up roadside trash.
