COME on all you smokers, stop being the butt of the cigarette "litter" farce – fined for putting a cigarette-end down the drain!

Try this, nip the end of the cigarette so only the unburnt tobacco and embers fall on the ground, stamp out the live embers or kick them down a grid, then put your butt in a portable ashtray.

Would they have a "legal" right to enforce a penalty on you then?

Down a grid is not littering the streets.

If Kingdom Ltd are the watchdogs of littering, they should earn their money by catching people letting their pets mess the pavements, dropping cans, bottles and chewing gum, spitting etc - the list is endless.
