Where in the UK has the highest concentration of smokers?

Are these same people going to issue fines to those who spit chewing gum onto the floor or dog walkers who let their dog sh1t on the path and not clean it up or is it just smokers?

Of course not Tony. That would require a level of coordination far beyond the ken of local government. No, this latest initiative will be run by a new agency that will have no connection with existing bodies. That will ensure the max number of new employees on HMG/Local Council Payroll and exponentially help the job stats once the ONS have finished massaging the figures.

£80? Southern puffters.

£2,500

And oop North, they add costs making it more like £380:

Vicky Adnan, of Glensdale Road, Leeds, was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt and ordered to pay court costs of £331.28

Israr Aussain, of Spencer Street, Keighley, was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt and ordered to pay court costs of £370.90

Nicholas Bailey, of Alderton Heights, Leeds was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt from a car and ordered to pay court costs of £341.28

Mark Duffy, of Cross Green Crescent, Leeds, was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt and ordered to pay court costs of £335.86

Paul Hollings, of Heath Crescent, Leeds, was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt from a car and ordered to pay court costs of £331.28

Ifran Khan, of Parkside Parade, Leeds, was fined £50 for dropping a cigarette butt and ordered to pay court costs of £331.28

If you want to drop a dog end, put in a black bag with some bags of other rubbish and dump it on a public footpath. It's cheaper:

Tatem Bould, of Cottingley Gardens, Leeds, was fined £50 for flytipping household waste on a public footpath on Cottingley Approach and ordered to pay court costs of £100;

Grace Lovet, of Brompton Row, Leeds, was fined £50 for fly tipping black bags of household waste on the corner of Brompton Row and ordered to pay court costs of £100;

John Sweeney, of Mead View, Holmewood, Bradford was fined £50 for not having a waste carriers licence and illegally transporting waste and ordered to pay costs of £200.

Edit: £515

Exactly the place where such enforcement wouldn't be possible, as the local chavs tell the officer to go forth and multiply.

No, the enforcers will be looking for wealthy tourists and besuited Londoners to 'nick'

Yet another unenforcible money maker that in practice will, as you say, be used against "soft targets". Surely the whole idea hinges on the smoker being seen to drop the fag? So they'll just drop them surreptitiously. Or flatly deny it was theirs, what then, does expensive DNA testing come into play? What if they drop the fag down a drain, they've been seen, but there's no evidence.

Good news.

I travel to Paris now and again; and you'll notice how people there smoke with impunity and good on them I say. So expressive the Parisians.

However there's no need for such enforcement like this topic because the Parisians respect the city and don't drop litter like the brits. People in the UK just don't give a sheet, it's sad really.

I'm always embarrassed when I visit other European cities and I see how clean the streets are.

My experience of France is that they let their dogs tulip on the pavement and never clean it up

My own experience and that of other people I know who have been to paris is that it's a filthy tulip hole

Butt-Police ?
Fag Stoppers ?
