South Africa’s new outdoor ashtrays are the perfect solution.

As a non-smoker- the new smoking law is the best thing that ever happened. As a South African citizen however, I have noticed a lot more cigarette butts littered around beautiful outdoor areas.

Of course, many smokers dispose of cigarette butts with a casual flick with the assurance that the municipal cleaning department will ultimately clean up their waste and dispose of it in an environmentally responsible manner.

In South Africa, an environmental solution to inform and educate smokers about the need for better disposal of cigarette butts will certainly go a long way in both keeping the streets tidy and protecting the environment.

Smokers should be encouraged to dispose of their cigarette ends responsibly However, to ensure its ultimate effectiveness, an education program needs to be heavily supported by a proactive, responsible means of disposing of cigarettes.

A local company called Ash n Ad supplies cigarette ashtrays to businesses to help comply with legislation related to South Africa’s new smoking ban.

With millions of smokers now heading outdoors to smoke, this has lead to an increase in smoking related litter – primarily discarded butts. This confirms that there is a demand from both the smoker and business owner to use the Ashtrays.

The outdoor ashtrays is a brilliant solution to prevent smokers from littering our country. If you own a restaurant or building where you have noticed cigarette butts littered around your property, I would highly recommend you visit www.ashnad.co.za to see the solution for yourself.

Local council also see the value of the ashtrays as a way to help reduce litter on our pavements too.
