butt out

personal ashtray - retails at £0.99. i like the concept and the execution [though there's no where to stubb your fag out on or in - a colleague suggested a butthole...] but having asked a few smokers if they'd use this the answer is unequivocally, no.

 

* 120 tons of cigarette litter are discarded on our streets every day

* In the UK , Cigarettes account for over 40% of street litter – globally it is around 50%

* It takes ONE SECOND to drop a cigarette butt – assuming it took the same time to pick it up again - it would take one person, working 8 hours a day, nearly 20 YEARS to collect the estimated 200 million cigarette butts that are thrown away each day in the UK.

* An estimated 4.5 trillion butts are littered worldwide every year [source: encams]
