I think we must be in different states of "Oregon." :)  I'll confirm
your description is not the norm up north here. Butts everywhere....
lit cigs tossed out the windows (and I've witnessed the initial
flame-ups on the interstate median first-hand)... dumping their ashes
out the windows while driving, or at stoplights.  (Today's cars don't
come with ashtrays anymore, so there might be a correlation.) Not much
in the way of cigarette receptacles outside of buildings, around here.
(If you don't offer a receptacle, folks won't smoke, right?)   :)
