Littering should be an expensive penalty.

That's a bit extreme but I can understand the sentiment when it comes to cigarette smokers. The littering irritates me a lot more than the smoke.

Go to any smoking area and you're likely to find more cigarette butts on the ground than in the ash can despite it between a few feet away. Don't get me started on those a-holes who flick cigarette butts out the window when they're driving.

Well if anyone deserves absurdly overpriced fines, it's those (bleep).

Michael Fay? I remember Jon London & the House Party on 92.3 The Beat had a hilarious skit about that.
