Morning Dew on Litter
I think most litter is fast-food related, but smoker's trash must run a close second -

Keep Britain Tidy looked at litter in 10 cities over two days in the first attempt to discover which brand names were most commonly discarded.
Fast food litter was second to cigarette ends in littering the country’s streets and 29 per cent of that was from McDonald’s restaurants. . .
The amount of rubbish dropped in Britain has risen by 500 per cent since the 1960s, with fast food waste the most common problem after smoking-related litter.

Why people litter:
- People are too lazy to dispose of trash properly
- People are more likely to throw litter on top of litter than drop litter in neat surroundings
- Don't Care
- Others will pick it up
- Not aware they are littering
Smokers and littering:
- Many smokers do not believe that littering their cigarette butts has an environmental impact or is inappropriate behavior.
- Many smokers blame their littering behavior on a lack of well-placed bins for cigarette butts.
- Over 80% of smokers said they would bin their butts if suitable bins were available.
- Over half of smokers said they would change their behavior if they were more aware of the issues and their potential environmental impact.
Littered cigarette filters contain toxic chemicals that leak into the air and water.
A poll conducted in 1998 of male and female Texans > 16 years old revealed the following predictors of littering in order of importance:
Age: 16-24 (now people age 16-24 are the target in Texas and nationwide)
Smokes
Eats fast food at least 2 nights/week.
Goes out for nighttime entertainment at least 1/week.
Drives >50 miles/day.
Never been married
Neither gender nor ethnicity were factors increasing likelihood of littering.
Caring enough to not litter seems to be driven by:
Knowledge and awareness
How much they care about the environment
Positive self-image
Attitudes to life (i.e. happy and content)
Sense of community and an empathy with the needs of others
Ease of disposal
Context they are in (16-24 year olds tend to litter more while in groups, but those older litter less in groups and more when alone)
Type of litter
If they can get away with it (either in terms of being observed or fined)

If your a menthol cigarette smoker and want to quit smoking for some crazy reason, then smoke these. They taste so bad youll want to quit
Well overall this is a pretty nasty cigarette, however even with the taste being sub par and it making your throat feel like glass, it's ok for less than 2bucks a pack. Plus this will give you one of the biggest buzz youve ever had. I give them however, one star for being made in china (if I remember correctly)
