În plin sezon al incendiilor, aproape 18% dintre fumătorii din Franța recunosc că aruncă chiștoace din mașină

A survey in France reveals that nearly 20% of smokers admit to throwing cigarette butts out of car windows on highways, contributing to wildfire risks. Despite this behavior, awareness of fire hazards is increasing, with 87% recognizing the risks associated with littering. The Vinci Autoroutes Foundation highlights the alarming consequences of such actions, especially during dry periods. New legislation imposes severe penalties for negligence leading to fires, with potential prison sentences of up to 10 years. Since July, 275 individuals have been detained for involvement in wildfires, with 90% of these incidents attributed to human activity.
