Let me just add the following:

Many smokers never even think about it. It's the most normal thing in the world to them to just flick their cigarette anywhere. It's so engrained in their brains that it's okay to do so, which is the main part of the problem.

Just calling them out on it to make them aware can be a great start.

The problem is that calling them out on this behaviour is usually met with aggression...

That can sadly happen, yeah. I only do it when there's enough other people around to hear and see it, which also puts extra pressure on them.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
