Other than the fact that it's hard to just put in a pocket and carry around until you see a bin, is it that smoking and littering are somewhat impulsive behaviours against better judgement? Someone doing one is inclined to do the other?

I'm a semi-occasional smoker, and I never litter the butts, there's usually a bin nearby or I keep it in my pocket and look for one ASAP because they stink awful. Additive-free tobacco smells a lot less though.

You can see other smokers doing it right when there's a bin nearby too, I've questioned them and never get an answer.

I think many people just live so thoughtlessly and carelessly, the rest of the city is dirty so why should they bother? It's really not much of an effort though.

There was enough premeditation to buy cigarettes and have matches or a lighter, not also planning for what to do with the butts is a choice.
If one doesn't give a crap about their health they sure af don't care about your parking lot.

Now your yard? That's just rude.
