who would pay the 2 cents? the penny fairy?
the state/private owned redemption center. we add 2 cent deposit to each smoke.
you'd have to pay someone to run/work at that type of center. where will the funding come from for that?
tax breaks for whomever wants to run it. it cant be a stand alone building but part or a liquor store or supermarket.
what about if the cigarette companies received tax breaks for making cigarette butts out of recycleable materials? then there would be no separate agency needed.

thats a slippery political slope. a good idea but giving monetary incentive to a company that makes death might cause consituent upheaval. but i still dont think u could invent a butt that recycles quickly and wouldnt still b an eyesore 4 months.
unless a cotton candy type filter? one that was packed tighter and held its form for 5 minutes. hmmmm

maybe you could somehow make the filter a piece of gum. then, when done w/the cigarette, you'd have gum to chew. and it'd probably have some residual nicotine, etc. making it even more addictive. as long as there's no wrapper, everybody wins.

Bollocks. Get the non-smokers to pick them up. After all, they're the one's moaning like little girls about it. Firstly we get sent outside to smoke, now we're told that we can't even do that because the cigarette end's kill dolphins or some shit.
It's fucking apartheid. I'm being discriminated against because of the colour of my lungs.

yeah, littering is ok as long as it's cigarettes
right
now i'm no proponent of state-mandated smoking bans in bars and things like that, but seriously, it's litter and it's as bad as any other litter.
