@erio7 @CelloMomOnCars Many years ago I was involved in a social marketing campaign for our regional council that included the risk of cigarette filters (among other things) to fish life (all our local urban waterways flow into two harbours). We had a cool poster of a smoking fish.

Buildings are all smoke-free inside in New Zealand, so smokers have to go outside for a smoke. But there aren’t enough receptacles for smokers to dispose of used butts in the street, so they flick them into the gutter.

Some are combined with street rubbish bins, but not enough people use them. And they aren’t all in the right place. Council bins are on the pavement, but many smokers who work in the area will smoke at the back door of their building, where there isn’t a butt receptacle.

Councils often have to spend more money and put in more services to make it easier for people to change their behaviour, which is hard when they are all trying to save costs!
