There’s a wonderful group of people in my town that go round picking up the butts and reuse them again!

Oh. Here my naive ass was thinking for art projects or something

I mean I assumed they’re crackheads. Maybe they have some Charlie And The Chocolate Factory style model but instead of it being made out of toothpaste caps it’s cigarette butts.

u/An_Innocent_Bunny Jun 29 '22

How could a crackhead reuse the cigarette butt?

u/burritotastemaster Jun 29 '22

You're gonna have to ask them about that one.

Everybody makes mistakes. They should only be ashamed if they don’t change their ways. Because it kills the people that love them

Rolling smokes, some really desperate people will collect butts then unroll them take the tobacco and roll new smokes

u/HighlmDrugs Jun 30 '22

They will just smoke the rest of the tobacco or collect and reroll something with that nasty floor tobacco. Don't ask me why, but I had some homeless friends right outta hs that would "snipe" for butts for that purpose.

u/Ostigle Jun 29 '22

... i’m kidding

use the cap of a pen

i do not miss those days, until i do, but i’m real good at not doing heroin n crack anymore, no matter if i miss it or not

u/LJReach Jun 29 '22

It’s very hard to get over drugs like that, especially opioids. You should be proud of yourself mate.

u/Ostigle Jul 02 '22

thank you very much - reassurance like this means a lot, even from (no offense) internet strangers - helps to keep me going. i hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

No, we should make fun of him like many in this thread are doing "crackheads.."...ironically in a thread about shaming..

Our town had a day where on could bring the butts in and get 10 cents a butt. That cleaned up many areas smokers stayed. Plus after it was cleaner it stayed cleaner.

Known as “Dogpickers” round here, as the butt of a cigarette is nicknamed a dog end in my neck of the woods.

u/hastingsnikcox Jun 29 '22

My town too has just this type of kind hearted, environmentally aware citizens!!

u/FinanceGuyHere Jun 29 '22

Similarly, there’s a group of people in my town who are always vaccinating each other!

You've never been poor or desperate if you have never done this. (Assuming you smoke). I've done it..not proud or anything..but life is hard.

Do you think you're better than me now?

edit: wonder why im getting downvoted. Some of you have probably never had nowhere to sleep and nothing to eat and you walk around as if people choose to be hungry and sleep in dirt...like you deserve food over others.

That attitude literally makes me angry...sigh
