One consensus in Australia at the moment is that if you do not provide cigarette bins for butts then you are assisting the push to stop smoking.

If we take a logical look at this issue we can see that it makes complete sense to provide cigarette bins or personal ashtrays for butts.  We  provide bins for all of our other rubbish, and we certainly don't condone throwing rubbish on the ground and walking away,  so why do we  think its ok to not provide bins or ashtrays for cigarette butts or allow smokers to just thrown them on the ground.
