Tallinn choreographer finds creative way to fight cigarette butts

Choreographer and dance teacher Raho Aadla shared his experience on social media of fighting cigarette butts in the city. He noticed that cigarette butts kept accumulating at the top of a post despite repeatedly removing them himself. Eventually, he decided to solve the problem with a surprising and humorous trick.

Tallinn choreographer and dance teacher Raho Aadla shared on social media his amusingly persistent battle against cigarette butts that kept piling up on top of a city post.

Aadla explained that he had removed the butts from the post several times, but the pile kept reforming in the hollow. "People simply think the cleaner has emptied the ashtray and there's room to fill again," he said, explaining the smokers' behaviour.

The situation bothered the choreographer so much that one night he decided to end the matter with an unconventional and somewhat clever move, the solution turned out to be a strawberry, which helped put an unexpected end to the problem.

The story Aadla shared on social media found a wide response, as the city's cigarette butt problem is familiar to many, and people empathize with anyone who takes matters into their own hands.
