A bucket (pale) of smokers' cigarette butts have been extinguished in a London back street alleyway. Stubbed out in sand to prevent them reigniting for safety reasons, the fags (English slang for cigarettes) echo the steel pegs on the ground. A single packet is also in the bucket at the rear entrance of a London restaurant. Catering staff takes a break from long hours working inside and smoke. The UK government say each year smoking causes 80,000 deaths, costing the National Health Service (NHS) £2.7bn. Just 22% of Britons are smokers - down from 27% at the end of the 1990s - and two-thirds say they would like to give up.
