Soak the parks with pesticides/herbicides next to toxic lakes while munching on Doritos and waving a sign "No Smoking". AL evangelists.

I'm perfectly okay with them banning smoking in public parks. One smokers stinks up a huge area and too many just use the world as their garbage dump and throw their cigs everywhere. My parents smoked and I never noticed it. Now that I haven't been around any smokers for a few years I can smell the stuff from cars that drive by and realize just how nasty it is.
Next thing I would like them to ban is dogs in the parks if people can't be responsible and pick up their dogs crap.

I knew someone would roll out the smoking litter argument, sooner or later. This is a really good time of the year to go out and look at what comprises the bulk of park litter. If that's the primary concern, you'd better add fast food, soft drinks and beer to the list.

We could combat cigarette butt litter by making the butts biodegradable, yet still able to withstand the heat. I used to smoke about 15 years ago and thought this was a good idea even then.
If Minnesota put a deposit on soft drinks, you wouldn't see as many of those, either. Some people would still be pricks and toss their can or bottle, but pickers would come and get them.
I don't have a solution for fast food litter.
That said, I agree that outdoor smoking bans are ridiculous feel-good measures that give the impression someone is "doing something about it."

It’s an obnoxious habit, you people stink, you should be confined to smoking rooms with no ventilation so you can enjoy your nicotine buzz to it’s max!
Go wheeze in your own little cubicals idiots!

Interesting about the deposit idea, I've always wondered how effective it was...
Then I found this..

Remember when the word "disposable" was a selling point? It seemed so much better than "returnable," which implied inconvenience. Yeah. Those chickens have come home to roost.
The other day while biking, I saw two used disposable diapers laying next to the road. Who the fùck does that?
