Snow is made up of hundreds of tiny water drops that have fallen and stuck to each other to form beautiful miniature mountains and hills of snow. When you put your cigarette out in the snow, you melt a lot of those droplets and you can create a hole in the snow and you can ruin it. The only acceptable way to mess up the snow is by walking on it if you absolutely have to, but even this is frowned upon.
If you see someone putting their cigarette out in the snow, I hope you go up to them and say "The snow is not your ashtray, you know." Because I would. And I have.
You know...
Most of us would never in a million years put out our cigarettes in artificial snow, so why then do I continue to see people putting their cigarettes out in the real snow without a second thought?
It's something to think about. Please pass this message along to everyone you've met."
