Numerous states have laws that prohibit smoking in any public place. That would include parks, stadiums, food service, bars, any place of business, public transportation and bus stops, etc. My current home state, Hawaii, also prohibits smoking anywhere near the entrance/exit to these places as well. My wife and I pick up trash in our neighborhood several times a week and I can say from experience that smokers care little for the environment or your health. We pick up hundreds of cigarette butts and packaging every week. Disgusting dirty habit. You will never convince nicotine addicts that smoking is not good for anyone. I would like to hear from the smokers on this site the reason for dumping their butts out the vehicle window or stomping them on the sidewalk. That said, I have owned stock in Philip Morris since the 1980s and have profited hansomely from their addiction (revenge is sweet).
