Stop this filthy habit

2:36pm Wednesday 27th June 2012 in Readers' Letters

I HAPPENED to observe two local schoolboys standing in my neighbour’s drive having a smoke.

This I have not got a problem with, if they wish to smell and die young it is their choice.

However, what I do object to is this filthy habit of constantly spitting, one lad felt he had to spit his smoke-contaminated saliva onto our pavement after every drag.

Heaven knows what his front room carpet is like.

This disgusting habit has now it seems been accepted as the norm. Most of the sports stars do it all the time and such a lovely image it projects in 3D, HD on our tellys.

Let’s please have a law with some kind of fine to try and stop this disgusting, filthy, unnecessary addiction.

It is a foul habit that was even prevalent when I was a teenager, I think it's a misguided attempt to look hard or rebellious, they do seem to grow out of it.

£50 fine for spitting in a public area for me.

Hear hear, i get kids passing me spitting on the pavement do which i make a comment to them its a disgusting habit some adults are just as bad, perhaps if footballers set an example it might help, i think a fine would be a good idea as it applies to dog mess why not spitting
