Life is like an ashtray...

...it is full of little doubts.

Not sure about life, but the streets are slowing filling up with discarded cigarette butts. Is it my imagination or are smokers so ignorant that they can't be arsed to take their fag ends to the nearest bin?

I am only too happy to be able to sit in a pub or restaurant and enjoy a meal without second hand smoke drifting over from an adjoining table - but now you have to wade through a veritable snowdrift of discarded dog ends outside these places.

Wear trousers with turn-ups and you could be taking some home!

It's all very good forcing smokers outside to light up and shorten their life-spans but how about ensuring that the place they have to stand outside supplies them with a suitable bin to stub out their tobacco product of choice?

I spotted some boards recently attached to lamp posts/sign posts in my local town to encourage gum chewers to stick their used gum to. It even added an element of fun by featuring a target on the boards. Maybe the same needs to be done for smokers?
