My uncle works with CPS and I asked him this very question about throwing butts and littering in general. He said that sadly the bigger issue for law enforcement is distracted driving. Cigarette butts are no where close to the top of the list.

Depends on the officer, but you can occasionally find the one that'll ding the person throwing the butt with the $1000 fine for "Discarding of burning garbage" instead of just the paltry fine for littering.
