  1. Smokers need to quit littering by flicking their butts everywhere. The smell is bad enough, we don’t also need to see butts all over our sidewalks and land.

    1. Yeah, I used to be that guy. I switched to smoking inside my house which sucks but it’s my choice to smoke and I shouldn’t be throwing buds outside in our beautiful landscape.

  2. Well that was helpful. We all know that what should be done, is most likely the opposite of what will be done, in this day and age. So this news means that the green areas will be soon be either rapidly disappearing, or be kept at a distance from average peoples reach.

  3. I smoked for 35 years and have had no nicotine now in over 2 years. It can be done. It’s not fun however and I doubt a park nearby would do much for the cravings.

  4. What kind of Propaganda BS is this???? Oh how I miss the Days of Smoking in Bars, Restaurants, ETC…. Agh the smell of Freedom
