Distribution of Pocket Ashtrays

A single cigarette butt can pollute up to 500 liters of water and takes several years to degrade. Often thrown on the sidewalk, it ends up in drains, waterways, or natural areas, releasing harmful substances. To combat this pollution and improve public cleanliness, the City of Spa is distributing 500 free pocket ashtrays. Small, practical, and reusable, they allow you to keep your cigarette butt with you until you find a suitable bin. Ashtrays are available at the Environment department counter. From January 1, 2027, the smoking ban on terraces will come into effect. Every smoker will also need a pocket ashtray in public spaces. Adopt this good habit now!
