I bet it's less of a problem in places where education is better and smoking and obesity rates are lower. You know, where it's bluer. People do this because they think they have rights to.

Less of a problem but not for that reason.

Littering fines in some other cities I know of are upwards of $1000. It's enforced for the same reason.
