The council has pursued an anti-social smoker-litterer into court. A miniscule step in the right direction, but a step in the right direction, nonetheless. If the council only did this on a consistent basis (and a hundred-fold increase in prosecutions) the slob contingent might get the message ...
I agree - I'm a smoker I hate seeing them littering the streets. It easy to nip it out and then throw the butt away when you get to a bin or use a Stubbi. Stubbi's were given away free to us lepers at work a few weeks ago and I just keep one in the bag I always tote around. Love the one that Barrow council commissioned (see attached file)!
