Smokers have been fined hundreds BRAZEN smokers have been fined hundreds of pounds across Hampshire for dropping cigarette ends on the ground. Dropping a cigarette butt on the ground may seem like a small offence but it can cause great harm to the environment and local wildlife- not to mention it makes our streets look untidy. Here are a handful of locals who paid big fees for their littering in recent months. Vicki Anne Marie Hayden of Butlers Close, Romsey, was slapped with a £75 fine for dropping a cigarette butt in Solartron Road, Farnborough. The 33-year-old appeared at North Hampshire Magistrates' Court in December, where she was also told to cough up £32 in a victim surcharge and pay costs of £43.
