The government didn't make you drop your fag end. You know the filters can take an age to degrade and can be harmful to wildlife? |

It's not exactly a new law.

Dispose of your rubbish appropriately and there won't be a problem.
The fines will at least contribute to someone else having to clear up the mess. |

"I think thats harsh being fined for putting it down the drain, if it was just the gutter, fair enough."
It's going to have to be cleaned up and filtered out if the water and disposed of somehow.
A drain isn't a bin  |

Litter bugs are one of my biggest bug bears! There's no need to litter the streets or to stick things down the drains!
There's normally plenty of bins around to pop your litter into! |

"I thought there was a stated case to say that cigarette butts did not constitute littering,"
Iirc the littering laws were brought in heavily based on stopping cigarette butts or at least headlined as being against that. |

You weren't asking for sympathy and you said yourself it was a stupid thing to do so I don't know why you're getting the harsh treatment either really.
It was bloody daft but it was a lesson that cost you 75 quid to learn so I think you've done your time so to speak.

I think partly it was to do with trying to blame the government and the suggestion it's not fair. The claim that everyone has littered at some point hasn't helped.
A lot of smokers don't realise how long filters take to biodegrade, what is involved in clearing them up, (along with chewing gum!), and how environmentally harmful they can be. |

Yep I hate litter too but when I was young and inexperienced I learnt a few lessons like this the hard way too.
