I don’t think its as big a thing since so many people quit smoking in last two decades, but growing up I used to see people (usually active heroin users, but not exclusively) picking up cigarette butts and rolling up the bit of tobacco left at the end. Also in 1971 cigarettes averaged 30 cents in USA, so I don’t think being able to afford cigarettes was the same 50 years ago as today.
