'Tobacco companies are to be forced to foot the bill for cleaning up the millions of cigarette ends that smokers discard every year under new environmental regulations in Spain.'

'Cigarette ends are one of the most ubiquitous forms of litter and take about 10 years to decompose, emitting toxic substances such as arsenic and lead.'

'According to Ocean Conservancy NGO, cigarette butts are the most common form of marine pollution.'

#RobButler #Tory MP for #Aylesbury states on his website that before he was elected he was "self-employed as a communications consultant"

He doesn't mention that from 2010 he was a partner at the lobbying firm #Pagefield who along with their sister organisation appear to specialise in clients with difficult profiles, these include #TobaccoCompanies, #ArmsDelaers and #CorruptGovernments abroad. Nice one Rob.
