Hello.

Is there a particular verb for when a person throws away the end of a cigarette with a fling of their index finger?

"I don't care anymore," said Jack throwing the end of his cigarette with his index finger and walking towards the car.
 
He flicked his cigarette end away ...
 
He flicked his cigarette end away ...

Can I also use stub? Is this good?

"I don't care anymore," said Jack, flicking his cigarette stub and walking towards the car.
 
It's a butt. He flicked the butt into the street.
 
That works.
 
Not to me. Where did he flick the butt?

Aha.

"I don't care anymore," said Jack, flicking his cigarette butt into the street / on the ground and walking towards the car.
