FloraG:

I did not create, merely adopted, your premise. Those you now say can be identified as sinners are subsets of a subset - they are smokers who smoke outside pubs, and smokers who smoke outside office blocks.

So why should those like country stiles (more sinned against than sinning) be punished?

I also suggest that you consider grass that has been mown with a modern mower that lifts cuttings - in the three weeks you cite the vast preponderance of filter tips will have been lifted. As for any that have not, the nicotine and other chemicals will have been biodegraded.

I infer that you let your dislike for smoking become a dislike of smokers.   Hate the sin (if it be a sin) but love the sinner.
