The Mayor of San Francisco has a proposal for all you filthy, disgusting smokers who insist on throwing your cigarette butts out onto public streets. So he is going to impose a fee on cigarette butts.
The taxpayers of San Francisco pay $10.7 million annually in order to clean up cigarette butts from gutters, drainpipes and sidewalks. The butts make up one quarter of all trash that the city picks up on the taxpayers' dime. So the city will add an additional 33 cents to the cost of every package of cigarettes. I guess that will cover the cost.
Question ... can you save your butts and turn them in for a deposit on the 33 cents? That would be a bit over a penny per butt.
Smokers are slobs. They don't care about their own health, why in the world would they care about littering the streets. That's nothing compared to what they're doing to their lungs.
