I don't think Your neighbor is 100 % sane, throwing fags over a fence is proof of that!
Can be a huge challenge to solve a problem a rational way, when only one part is thinking rationally... Good luck, I would also start the politely friendly way.

Great way of addressing the issue. Just gently point out the dangers of petrol and cigarettes not mixing.

Sounds like if it happens again, you should talk to the wifee LOL

I hate confrontations as such, but it is nice when the other party understands the error in their ways and changes.
