Wen Jun, a professor of sociology at East China Normal University, believes that it is not advisable to reward sanitation workers alone, but should combine rewarding sanitation workers to clean cigarette butts with punishing and educating cigarette butts litterers from the source. "Rewarding sanitation workers can really maintain the city appearance and clean up cigarette butts, and the effect is' immediate'. However, this method is actually a' temporary solution' and is not suitable for long-term policy implementation. "

While rewarding sanitation workers, we should strengthen the quality education for citizens and "combine various means to better safeguard the city appearance and environment." In addition, for some netizens who think that the fines for littering cigarette butts are relatively small at this stage and cannot play a disciplinary role, Wen Jun believes that the significance of punishment is not to really "fine", but to guide citizens to pay attention to their own quality and realize that they should not litter cigarette butts or other sundries.
