Cigarette Ends...litter?

[Tashyboy]

They shouldn't let the birds in the zoo smoke , not in front of the children anyway!

😁 It was 20 yds from the front of the entrance

Flick the end off and put it out under your foot - that bit's all biodegradable so not a problem. Then you can just chuck what's left into the nearest bin.

Which bit's biodegradable? the fag butt? Biodegradable or not the fag butt is still litter.

I smoke 'roll-ups' without filter tips so they're 100% bio-degradable but you're quite rite 'pre-fab fags' or 'straights' or whatever you wanna call'em shouldn't be dropped on the fringes/greens/fairways or in bunkers etc, I very rarely smoke when out playing unless kept waiting by 'slow play' in which case when I've finished my smoke I'll discard of it in the long stuff where it can't be seen 'unless' that is you should happen to be in the long stuff on the hunt fer yer ball in which case that's yer own fault, oh and before you ask I make sure it's well and truly put-out first, wouldn't wanna start a 'bush fire' now would we...

On the subject of 'littering' what about peeing in a bottle and discarding of it in the club house lav's, anyone up for it ?...

ps, having re-read over this I now realise it comes across as quite 'controversial' this should be fun !... :thup:

Apologies for not being clear. The burning tobacco bit you flick off and put out under your foot is biodegradable, leaving you the butt in your hand to deposit in the bin without risking a fire.

inconsiderate to say the least.

It always surprises how some smokers, most of whom would never think of dropping a sweet wrapper, think it's fine to throw down their fag butts as if they are some exception to the rule.

If it's made in a factory or prosess and not natural to your surroundings it's Litter

Liking this thread!

I remember posting (when I first joined this forum) that smoking should not be allowed on golf courses as the filthy habit does not sit well with golf being a sport. That created a storm to say the least!

I hate seeing cigarette buts on the golf course just like all litter.

That's the funny bit. If folk don't get expensive, smelly or cancerous....they won't get "it's litter!"
