Carrot & Stick

Smokers fined for throwing cigarette butts on the street will get their money back if they quit smoking in a pilot scheme starting next month.

As well as receiving a £75 fine, they will be given details of the nearest stop-smoking course and if they give up for 28 days, their fine will be refunded.

The scheme is running in the Hampshire borough of Rushmoor, with Havant and Gosport soon to follow.

Good idea on both counts.
