I am pleased to hear this because I see cigarette butts discarded all over the place, sometimes loads of them at bus stops and on train lines. They are a major source of plastic pollution of the environment, a source of toxins, and a wildfire risk when thrown in the countryside.

No problem with the message. So, the government will place receptacles on the street for the butts to be put in, right? If they don't discard properly, they get a fine. People will still smoke.
