I think its just a trout thing with cigarette butts because i have seen and heard of people flicking their butts in the lake and fish eating them the instant they hit the water  :-\ i know it make no sense. guess its time to tie up a cigarette butt fly LOL

Up at Stacey lake someone dropped a whole cugarette pack in the water and for over an hour trout were surfacing every 30 seconds smashing the cigarettes to peices and taking chunks off, not sure what the reason is though  ???

The weirdest things I have found in the stomach of 1 Steelhead was a chunk of metal, pink worm, spawn sacs, colorado blade, white rock. I have seen and heard of cigarette butts inside the stomach, as well as many other things that no fish in it's right mind should be eating  ;D
