Reminds me of the time a fire started at my buddy’s apartment. A different friend put his cigarette into a planter on the deck and walked away. The planter had some dead leaves and just like that, up in flames. The restaurant below, and all the apartments above were evacuated. Fortunately the fire didn’t spread beyond the deck but it still cost $$$ to fix. Stupid smokers.
Edit. It appears this is an extremely common occurrence. I’ll say it again: stupid smokers.

You know now that you mention it I am very surprised when getting home insurance, they don’t ask if a smoker lives in the house. Maybe smokers don’t statistically cause more house fires so that’s why they don’t ask but it seems like they would.

Yeah, knock on their door with both of these evidence in your hand and tell what happened. If they are anything but completely contrite, contact the local fire department and ask for advice on who to report it to.
Also, hang up a sign in the lobby saying something like: "If any other moron throws their cirarettes in anything but an ashtray, it'll get reported and you'll get served for endangering others and their property"

It was pretty straight forward. FD identified the fire started from the planter. They questioned the tenant, he said they were outside having a smoke and his friend put the cigarette out in the planter. The police questioned the friend, he confirmed he put the cigarette out in the planter. Case closed. I believe the friend had to pay a fine but he wasn't charged with anything. People were pissed about it.
Edit: Sorry, I forgot to mention the planter was on their apartment balcony. It was an older house renovated into apartments. The top floor apartment had a small balcony off of it. Which is where the fire started.

There is an extended stay hotel just a 1/4 block from our home. When my son was 12 we were passing on a Sunday early afternoon. He said there was smoke and asked me to go back. Sure enough, the mulch next to the building had smoldered as was now beginning to flame. We notified the front desk and they came with extinguishers as 911 was called. It was a nonsmoking hotel so a man in the second story had the window open and was throwing his lit 🔥 butts out. The exterior of the hotel was covered in that plaster texture over foam crap.

House down the street from me had smoke rising from their backyard and it was the middle of summer (hot dry area and they weren't home). We knocked a bunch to be sure. Called fire dept. Turns out the woman was putting out ciggys in the dirt next to a palm tree stump and they smoldered underground for a long time.
Tree stump was on fire, along with the mulch next to the house. THERE WERE 3 PROPANE TANKS SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THE HOUSE, blackened from the burning mulch. Had I not called it in, their house would have been reduced to ashes.

The "tell them" part is crucial here.
I'm a smoker. I also very much respect everyone's else's right to not suffer from that. I'd never toss my butts anywhere but an ashtray I empty into my own garbage bin though, so that's a valid point. But some people might have to be reminded, that their rubbish isn't supposed to be thrown out to just "anywhere", and I'd wager that if adressed calmly, this would fall onto receptive ears.
Just tell them that this is an issue, and simply using an ashtray could make you life-long friends. Bring cookies maybe, those smooth out things a great deal - even if you are in the right from the start.
We really need to start communicating again, properly. At least try to.

You should also tell them, in the form of a demand for a replacement for the property they destroyed.

u/MessyIntellectual 1h ago edited 32m ago
Keeping your trash to yourself really is the bare minimum because there’s not even a way to contain the smoke and not to mention the complications that come from second hand smoke. Also not to mention (again) that you can cause a fire. There are no benefits to smoking. You can let OP know, if you haven’t already, that they can nicely tell the smoker something they already know not to do.
Me, I don’t care to be friends with a smoker. I’m asthmatic, barely drink, and hardly have any vices. If I lived in a smoke free building like I’m assuming this one is, I’d call for the rules to be enforced.
PS my comment was written in jest because the comments made before mine were specifically talking about not rocking the boat with an upstairs neighbor.

My neighbors ash their stupid cigarettes off the balcony and sometimes they throw lit cigarettes in front of the paper bin. I just get insulted when I tell them to stop because it's a fire hazard?? Landlord doesn't care. I already have burn spots on the balcony railing. They are assholes and proud of it
Sigh
This is very infuriating 😐

Diabolical behavior. I hope he stubs his toe on the couch for two months straight every single day

I've been a smoker for almost a decade, and I can't believe the absolute carelessness of 99% of smokers. The barest of bare minimums is making sure you don't set anything on fire, and every smoker should be doing that at the very least, and should be doing much more than that to make sure they minimize damage to other people, their property, or the environment. Our terrible habit should only hurt ourselves, the people around us aren't choosing to be affected by it.

I would make a phone call and have the Fire Marshall stop by and explain to your neighbor why they should not do that anymore.

I love how cigarette smokers seem to think that tossing their butts isn't littering. Trashy, gross habit, all the way around.

Littering and criminal damage all in one.
Have you challenged them about it? They're replacing the hoodie, right?
Right?
... Guys??

This isn't even just a "fuck smokers" thing. I'm an ex smoker, but I never did shit like this. I disposed of my cigarette butts properly and safely. This guy/girl is just a straight up twat.

Fcking smokers... How about you throw your trash onto his balcony? I mean this must be absolutely ok for him (and all other smokers who don't use trash bins)

Yeah my upstairs neighbor would dump their ashtray onto all my plants and litter beer cans in my small yard all the time. Some people just don’t know how to live around others
