Studies have shown that a significant portion of wildfires are attributed to discarded cigarettes tossed from moving automobes.
SC Codes of Laws 16-11-700 …. (C) A person who violates the provisions of this section … cigarette butts and cigarette components, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not less than twenty-five dollars and not more than one hundred dollars or imprisoned for not more than thirty days. In addition to the fine or term of imprisonment, the court also must impose eight hours of litter-gathering labor or other form of community service.
Pathetically weak law went fires are life threatening.

As weak as the law is, I am not aware of it ever being enforced.
