Consider it a polling place and ashtray rolled into one. The Alliance for the Great Lakes is working with the Chicago Park District to bring "voting" boxes to Chicago beaches this summer in a pilot program designed to curb cigarette littering, said Jennifer Caddick, alliance engagement director. The custom-made rectangular boxes, which have been used in London and more recently in Boston since last month, will ask smokers a question that could be focused on the never-ending sports rivalry of Cubs vs. Sox or the food fight between deep dish pizza and Chicago-style hot dogs. Smokers would "vote" by putting their cigarette butts into a hole so they fall into one of two compartments.
