It's ok 'cause it keeps the cleaners in a job. Littering is polluting - and that's not ok. The Keep Australia Beautiful Council stated that careless disposal of cigarette butts is a very common practice that contravenes the Litter Act, the Road Traffic Code and the Bushfire Act. Building 400, the School of Public Health, is one of the cleanest areas on campus. This area was used during the study to make our job a little easier.
Less smokers congregate in that area as few staff smoke.
Other areas on campus have many more butts. Support to quit smoking is available at Curtin University via Health Services, Counselling Services, Curtin Pharmacy and the Curtin Healthy Lifestyle Program. If you still smoke, pick up you Quit book today and set your quit date.
