First, I don't think the lack of ashtrays in cars is discouraging people from smoking. But, here is the problem. Change the cigarette butt to any other kind of garbage and it doesn't work. So there is no ashtray in your car? there is also no garbage can. Does that make it okay to throw garbage out the window?

As a person who had half a pack of cigarettes whilst visiting Chicago in January (I know!) and half a pack when I visited Chicago in July (and no others in between) I'll point out that I work very hard to put out my cigarettes and THEN have nowhere to put them. I usually keep the butt in my hand until I find a trash can, but, if I were unhealthy AND lazy they'd be on the ground.
Also, I don't know if you know this but there aren't many cars with ashtrays anymore. In fact, I've had 3 new cars in the past 9 years (as if the smoking wasn't bad enough) and none of them had ashtrays.
They may be discouraging people from smoking but automakers are encouraging littering too.

Eric and I saw a guy biking last week with a soda fountain cup and we watched him chuck it into the grass. Needless to say, I doubt he was biking for the environment.
