embarrassed or to stop
It is understood that National Patriotic Health Campaign Committee in order to meet the double record of acceptance of Xianyang City, Xianyang City, including the acquisition has taken various initiatives, including cigarette butts, to purify the urban environment. Among them, the incentive to pick the most exciting people's neural cigarette, but embarrassed.
"because there is no strict inspection standards, as long as cigarette butts will accept." Weicheng Qu New Road, Xianyang City street, a staff member told reporters, "but many cigarette butts are unknown, some from Internet cafes, some from the chess room, get cigarette butts everywhere. "
Xingwan Chuan said, there may be other parts of the individual will have brought the cigarette. But this is a minor, after all, is not the main Moreover, the acquisition of cigarettes was not their true purpose, their real idea is to encourage people to pick up cigarette butts to raise environmental awareness, improve the urban environment.
"We also want to extend the measure for some time, the effect of further expanding it a bit." Xingwan Chuan said, Xianyang City, ready to buy the cigarette together, make a public service advertisement or the sculptures tell the public care for the environment, is to love yourself.
but Xingwan Chuan's "sustained period of time," but early end. Reporter Weiyang Qindu District 20 in West environment and sanitation have seen, a printed "stop the acquisition of cigarette butts," the White impressively on the wall, is inscribed "October 8."
Xianyang City, surnamed Wei, double-founder of a staff member explained: "according to the original design, the work is staged, starting from September 18 about a month, plus members of the public handed cigarette gradually reduced, so the acquisition of various sanitation point of the event being canceled.

that have sparked public controversy
although the "bonus pick up cigarette butts" approach to Xianyang street "a lot less cigarette butts", but controversial.
Xianyang public Zhaoang told reporters that once he finished in Xianyang China Plaza, cigarette smoke, readily will throw cigarette butts on the ground, an old man bent down to pick up cigarette butts. A frail old man, correcting his uncivilized behavior, the matter deeply educated him. Zhao Ang said two weeks ago, he never throw cigarette butts.
public Guo said, picking up cigarette butts is a good thing for the elderly, improve environmental health at the same time, some older people that exercise the body, but also against the money to buy a la carte.
Xianyang, but more people oppose it. Wang said the people, this is a big Government spending, this investment does not make any sense. "Sanitation workers cleaning up cigarette butts should be something."
many people think that the government buy cigarettes does not mean the city will be a major change in health status. The birth of a health city, by a movement-style "picking cigarette butts" campaign is far from unattainable.
public Wang Chao said that if giving money to pick up, money is not picked also picked up money not picked might see this bad! If you quality to a certain extent, this should be a conscious act.

Implementation of the decision on the suspension less than a month, indicating that before the introduction of this policy and did not do more scientific evaluation.
