“did you know cigarette butts are the number 1 litter item on the world’s beaches?”
Strange. I live on the coast of Long Beach for over ten years. After storms, some real serious trash accumulating on the sand, here is the inventory: 70% styrofoam pieces, 20% miscellanious fast food packaging, 5% plastic cans and bottles (oil, anti-freeze, juices), 3% plastic bags, 1.999% plastic toys, diapers and other strange stuff, 0.001% (or probably a lot less) cigarette butts. I think there is no justification to call the smokers major litterers or polluters. Anybody with the anti-smoking mentality are welcome to visit our beaches after storms, and argue… I guarantee, they’ll loose.
