California--Don't Flick Your Cigs Outside

We have a tinder-dry state resulting from our severe drought. If you smoke and drive, keep those cigarettes, cigars, etc. in your car, not out the window. Use your ashtray, not the highway!

Why is this important?

We're having Fall fire season in the Spring this year. This is unprecedented for modern California. While driving north on interstate 5 from SanDiego, I saw several motorists driving with their lit smokes out the window, while Camp Pendleton burned a few hundred yards away. This is ignorant and crazy. We need a statewide awareness campaign. Where's that Smoky the Bear when we need him?!
