What is the difference between littering cigarette butts and other trash?

Question

When I ride with my dad, he lets me litter cigarette butts but he got mad when I threw a napkin out of the car window.

Answer 1

You need to set your dad straight on exactly what is pollution.

And why do you throw your cig butts out the window anyway??

Put them where you know they belong!

Answer 2

smoking is bad it gives you cancer QUIT before it is to late

Answer 3

Cigarettes are way worse.  They contain an enormous cocktail of various poisons and hazardous chemicals that leach into the soil, plus they take years to degrade.  The napkin will degrade in a few weeks.

People who throw cigarette butts out of their windows should be shot.
