According to authorities, a citizen who throws a cigarette filter in the street will have to pay a fine of £558. Rachel Hunt, Environment Member of South Gloucestershire Council, said: "We can stop disposing of burnt cigarette butts. Crews who keep the streets clean are usually confronted with this. 

The person was caught spreading the same rubbish and confessed, but ignored the fine, so the case went to court. 

"Burnt cigarette filters are very difficult to get into the environment," said Rachel Hunt. They usually take a year and a half to ten years to decompose if left in an open environment.
