But there is also no arguing the fact that smokers are much more prone to throwing their butts on the ground for lack of an ashtray, than most other people are to littering any other sort of garbage for lack of a garbage can.
For some reason the same people that will crumple up that cheeseburger wrapper and hang onto it untill they find a garbage can, think nothing about flicking a cigarette butt on the ground several times a day.

I think that directly relates to the size of the garbage. Many people won't think twice about throwing away a gum wrapper but might feel bad if they throw away a bag of garbage.
Also, and this is why a stubbi might help, is that cig butts stink and are messy. It is easy to carry a cheeseburger wrapper (or whatever) for a block. Carrying a cigarette butt is disgusting because you'll smell even worse than just smoking.
