Totally. It'd be awful if those gross cigarette butts ended up in the pristine, crystalline waters of the gloriously fresh and pollution free Willamette.

In Sydney, Australia I noticed that public smoking is way more tolerated than here in the States. Every downtown buisness had a butt receptacle attached near the doorways, and the entire downtown area was way cleaner than Portland.

A pocket ashtray solves that problem quite nicely.

"Field strip"...like you would a deer you just shot? what part do you remove and what do you do with it, besides making it litter as well?

You know those things'll kill you, right?

Field strip?!? Quit being so greedy with precious resources. You should only smoke cigarettes halfway and then evenly distribute your butts around the downtown area (paying special attention to Oldtown/ Chinatown) for the homeless to discover later. Not everyone has the time to run a soup kitchen but you can still do your part to help out a little bit.

Good point, ill paxton. To hide the ashtrays, thinking that therefore, nobody will smoke, is like removing public toilets, because nobody would dare to defecate in a doorway.

If you don't liter your cigarette butts in the street, there goes some street sweeper jobs. I,A why do you hate maintaining and creating jobs in this city?

@ PS FLICKU - that does explain why I have witnessed people shitting in doorways downtown...

Please wait...
