| Speaking as a reformed smoker, and probably therefore a bit of a zealot. I still don't think fining people for 'dripping' fag ash is a worthile use of council employees' time.
Fag butts, sweet wrapper etc are different, but where does it stop?
Do you fine people for flicking it (the ash, not the butt) on the pavement or in the gutter if ther are smoking while walking?
Does the fact that he was in a vehicle make a difference, whether it has ashtrays or not?
Chewing gum waste, cigarette butts and sweet wrappers are a lot more unsightly than invisible ash, and don't get me started on dog mess.
