i just heard on the news that sydney now has undercover folks wandering around giving out tickets for tossing cigarette butts on the ground. i hate smoking. i think it’s disgusting in every way – health of the smoker, health of those around the smoker, the environmental reasons, giving money over to evil companies, etc. it especially annoys me when people throw their cigs on the ground. and it super duper annoys me when they throw them on the ground w/o putting them out.
so in sydney, you can now be fined $60 if you throw your cig on the ground and it’s out. if you throw your cig on the ground & don’t put it out, you can be fined $200. i think that’s fucking awesome!!!!
