Butler County's great daily newspaper

My pet peeve is cigarette butts getting tossed out car windows. I think cops should follow people with their windows down when they are smoking because 99% of the time, that butt is going out the window. There is-or used to be-a $300 fine for littering, and if the cops would start handing out tickets for cigarette butts, what a boon to the local community! Cigarette butts litter the sides of the road, then when it rains, they get washed into the sewer drains. Eventually making their way into streams - which is toxic to wildlife, or into our watersystems. Every car I have ever seen has an ash tray, yet smokers must be the laziest people in the world because it is too much to reach over, pull that tray out and dump it in the trash.
