An open letter to the smokers

By Letters to the Editor

Dear Smokers:

Please dispose of your cigar and cigarette butts in a proper receptacle and a proper receptacle is not our streets, sidewalks, or golf courses. Every time I walk I am amazed by the number of butts littering our streets.  I tried to count them one day and quit when I reached over 100. It is especially disconcerting to see them discarded on and around the greens of our golf courses.  There are all kinds of inexpensive portable ashtrays and golf cart ashtrays which cost less than $20. If you wouldn’t throw a cigarette or cigar butt on your front lawn please do not throw them on our streets where they spoil our neighborhoods.
