Why do smokers throw their cigarettes out the car window?

I believe you have the right to smoke. I don’t believe you have the right to throw your cigarettes out the window. It’s rude and dirty and inconsiderate. What goes through your mind when you toss a cigarette out the window?

Kelowa and the surrounding area is on fire. People are being evacuated from their homes. The air is smoky. The highway is closed. It’s all over the news.

A few days ago a guy driving down the road in Kelowna tossed his lit cigarette out the window. Started another fire.

I’m exasperated.

Cindy said, “If you’ve been tossing cigarettes out the window for 20 years, you’re not gonna just stop.”

Even if you’ve had a week of 35 degree weather and you live in desert scrub and your town is burning?
