NORFOLK, Va. The program is called No Butts About It with the hashtag to help spread the word. People are starting to notice big cigarette butts hanging around Hampton Roads. When I first saw them, I thought oh those are ugly, said one passerby, Terri Baker. It does hit you in the face, but I think it s a great statement.

As part of the #NoButtsAboutIt campaign to discourage cigarette butt litter, larger-than-life-size cigarette butt sculptures have been placed throughout Hampton Roads, including these at Gloucester’s Beaverdam Park playground.
Cigarette litter is no small matter; and askHRgreen.org and its locality partners are taking a big approach to encourage Hampton Roads residents to stop dropping their butts.
Through May 14, larger-than-life-size cigarette butt sculptures loom large in public spaces across the region. In Gloucester, the sculptures can be found at Beaverdam Park, Abingdon Park, Ark Park, Gloucester Point Beach and Woodville Park.
Coupled with an offer to provide free cigarette butt receptacles to area businesses, organizers of the #NoButtsAboutIt promotion hope the artwork will convince smokers to keep local landscapes and waterways cigarette litter-free.
