The “Environmentalists of Mitrovica” team successfully put into practice their creative concept of “Interactive Voting Ashtrays for Cigarettes.” The initiative’s primary goals were to address the smoking rate in Mitrovica and help the residents experience fewer health problems because of smoking. 

To get people involved in the initiative, the plan called for setting up interactive “cigarette tail” voting booths across the city. The upper portion of these ashtrays served as a whiteboard surface with challenging questions for locals to respond to, while the lower portion was designed to store cigarette tails which were used for voting on challenging questions and thus acted as an “opinion board”. The ashtrays were successfully constructed and put in place in key spots throughout the city thanks to cooperation with a business that specializes in advertisement construction. The company’s backing ensured the project’s budget, enabling the initiative to be carried out without incident. 

The initiative has a significant beneficial effect on the neighborhood. The team successfully tackled the issue of smoking prevalence, especially among younger people, by introducing interactive ashtrays. The interactive ashtrays actively engaged residents and prompted them to consider their smoking habits by presenting them with challenging questions. 

The “Environmentalists of Mitrovica” provided evidence of the ability of straightforward yet powerful innovations to influence social behavior in a good way. 

Overall, the “Interactive Voting Ashtrays for Cigarettes” initiative’s success has provided a model for  constructive social change in Mitrovica and elsewhere.
