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.

I'm having a cup of tea while I sit on my slightly raised moral high ground....

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

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