The National Institute of Technology has found that Italians throw away 195 million cigarette ends every day. The butts contain toxics waste that comes up to 300 bilions tons a year.
This news item is very worrying because people start smoking earlier and their number is increasing. The Spanish politicians intend to stop people from smoking in public places, the new law starting on the first of January 2010, but in reallity it hasn't started yet.
When I go out to the pubs, discos, bars a lot of people still smoke and of course they throw the butts into the streets. That means that I can die inhalling smoke, or because of the toxics waste.
All that without being smoker, and this also for a lot of people who don't smoke.
