Smokers who drop cigarette butts in Devon are being targeted by specific council patrols in the lead-up to Christmas.
A team from Torridge District Council will be warning smokers they could face a £75 fine if they are caught dropping cigarette butts.
Patrols will occur during prime drinking times in a bid to keep towns and villages clean, a spokesman said.
The fine is a "last resort" and can be issued by the patrol team, he added.
