Go to walmart and in the auto section there sould be some solvents that you pour on your drive way/use a brush to scrub/and wash off. easy as 1,2,3.

Simple Green works alright, although you kinda have to douse the spot with it and let it sit.

gasoline works good. Pour it on (put the cigarette out first) and scrub a little. It will wash away with water easily. It is best to do this late in the day, right after the sun goes down. This procedure works well, i mean i heard for somewhere that it works well.

Simple Green. I usually follow this up with pressure washing that area.

Kitty litter works great, grind it in with your shoe until it's powdery, then sweep it up.
