    When I was still smoking, I always forgot my little portable ashtray, so I did this a lot. My pants were abysmally smelly - but I can’t stand cigarette littering.

      Did you ever accidentally set your pants on fire or melt a hole through polyester? This is a real question, by the way, I have no idea whether cigarette butts are still burninating when you’re done with them.

        Just urinate on the butt before you put it in your pocket. It’s still less nasty than throwing it on the ground.

        I’m not a smoker. I never have been. I’ve always been amazed that smokers somehow managed to get society to look the other way at such blatant littering.

        Not the commenter, but you roll the burning part off. The remaining tobacco burns into ash and there’s no (real) littering. It is a form of pollution, but it sort of blows away.

        Usually, I would squat down, press it against the concrete to put it out, then wait for a few seconds to make sure it’s not glimmering any more, then put it in my back pants pocket.
