Me and my boyfriend. Yes i know i know its bad lol im quiting this summer but thats off topic i have been getting into this habit of not throwing cigerette butts on the ground and not littering period because it is against the law so its a sin right? My boyfriend thinks im going over board. i think the term he used was scrupulous which the merriam webster defines 1 : having moral integrity : acting in strict regard for what is considered right or proper doesnt sound bad to me lol but neways what do yall thik because i think that it is a sin but he says he doesnt know.

Well, I do think it's a sin. The Church teaches us to obey our secular law, for one thing. Secondly, God gave us this Earth to use. It's His. We should take care of it. Thirdly, I used to smoke, and the reason I threw my cigarette butts out the window was because I was lazy! Don't know if that's the case for you, though.

God bless. :)

i suppose that if there wasn't a place for butts to go, then throwing them anywhere would be fine... but... they can always go in the trash.

I would say this would be the bigger issue. I used to smoke I quite by God's grace. But if you read Sacerd Scripture your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit!

I think God would be more concerned with your body which is His temple than throwing butts on the ground (just my opinion) ;)

God Bless

Here's another reason not to throw cigarette butts out (at least if you're driving) -- the butts could land under a vehicle that happened to be leaking gasoline or any other hazardous material. The result would be a fireball.
