People that throw their cigarettes out the car on a highway

Full speed on a highway and the still lit cigarette hits your car. Your thoughts on these people?

They're reducing their efficiency by having their window open.
They're also reducing their life expectancy by about 10 years.

Annoys the crap outta me.

Maybe they can empty their trash out the window too.

They are going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

It's worth it when you see a car with the back seat on fire cruising at 70 mph.

But... cars don't come with ashtrays anymore. Well, some expensive ones do, but not normal ones.

My thoughts would be moved to "snippiness."

Slightly different, but it is also (nice) getting some hot butt when you are riding a motorcycle. Did i just say that? OK, another related situation is getting wet while riding a motorcycle... Why? Because the car in front of you is washing its windshield and you get spritzed too. Been there. Some people just don't think or have consideration.

Sometimes I am nice enough to reach down, pick up the accidently dropped cigarette and throw it back into their car. Two wheels have their advantages...

True, so true...

Littering, they deserve a $1,000 fine.

Slightly different, but years ago BT (before Tesla), I was at a gas station [shudders at the thought], and was walking in when a guy walked out with a new pack of cigarettes, stopped outside the door, took off the cellophane and dropped it on the ground...STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRASH CAN!!!
I walked up to him, picked up the trash and said, "don't worry, I got it" - and put it in the trash right next to him. Sadly, he didn't say anything...I imagine it didn't even register. Some people are scumbags.

Is "harvested for their organs" too harsh? Just asking...

Nope, but their organs are not worth harvesting with all the toxins they have absorbed over the decades.

Who would want their nasty organs?

Best punishment. Revoke license and force offender to pickup a 50gal trash bag full of cigarette butts from the road side.

Nope. See Myth 4.

5 Organ Donation Myths Debunked - Orgamites

I knew about this because I know of someone who was an addict of alcohol and other drugs, as well a long-term smoker who was an organ donor when he died, including his lungs.

I like it!

Here is a view of part of my hood at low tide this afternoon. The difference is about 5-6 feet from low tide to high tide in the harbor proper. Note the white box adjacent the pointy end of the arrow.

Yep - a discarded and presumably empty pack of cigarettes.

It’s a shame the toxins don’t work more quickly upon those who discard their trash into what should be cleaner habitats.
