An interesting study out of San Diego State University concerning the negative effects (mortality) of cigarette butts on fish life:
SDSU Study Says Cigarette Butts Kill Fish
Fortunately, if you do the math, at a rate of 1 cigarette butt tossed per liter of available water, even our typical sized reservoirs such as Geist, Morse, Cataract, EC, Raccoon, etc. would require about 23.8 billion butts each to become toxic enough to kill fish. Still, don't be a butthead and toss them in the lake.







Unfortunately again and on any environmental subject/level, the average fisherman/hunter/outdoors/indoors person does not recognize the damage they cause by not having great respect and consideration for the resource.
