smoking footpaths

To all those who are smokers in the UK life is probably pretty tough at the moment. You can’t smoke in office buildings, planes, trains, bus stops, pubs and restaurants. Complete bliss for non-smokers who can go home after a night out with friends without having to wash their hair, plus you can get more than one wear out of your jeans. Yippee!

However, there remains one space where you can still happily puff. And boy are they puffing away and then using the footpath as a giant ash tray. Butts everywhere. This is not the only unpleasant footpath habit in London though. There are major stains on the footpath from chewing gum, scrapped off by a bunch of council workers everyday. And just yesterday I narrowly missed someone spitting over their right shoulder as I tried to nip by to get to the tube a tad faster. It was a super close call….not nice!

The hazards of big city living!
