not so long ago peopel would have been saying it was unfair to be fined for dropping a fag end but since the public have been brainwashed against smoking and made smokers to be second class citizens its more fashionable to bitch about smokers ,the worst culprits been ex smokers who seem to think that because they quit everyone eslse should and totaly forget the thousands of fag ends they threw to the floor when out walking to the shops or inbetween pubs on a night out
the old dear dropped a fag on the floor she didnt dump a sofa in the middle of the street and set fire to it for gods sake

Don't doubt that there are those amongst us who would have stubbed a ciggy out on the floor before the by law came in, myself included, even if they didn't drop any other kind of litter. But the point is, it is law now. What difference does it make if she is an "old dear" as you put it. The laws apply to everyone, and she shouldn't expect to be allowed to do something others aren't, or be exempt from fines. The fact that other people do worse things and have got away with it does not have any bearing on this issue.
