Effective Campaign

The problem is solved when smokers habitually use a portable ashtray.

As long as littering is more convenient and effectively free, only a minority of smokers are willing to buy a pocket ashtray. If we want to stop this environmental pollution, we need to give the target audience a functional pocket ashtray for free.
