I used to be a smoker. I started at a very young age. For the longest time I would carelessly flick cigarette butts.

One day it dawned on me that I was littering.

Odd thing was I never littered outside of that. In fact cleaning up litter was part of my job at the time.

Unlike most litter, though, cigarette butts disintegrate almost immediately and completely in the rain.
