A lorry driver has been fined £260 for smoking in his cab.
Leonard King is one of the first to fall foul of regulations that stop workers lighting up in business vehicles.
His lorry, which carried a no smoking sign, was parked when a council dog warden spotted him puffing away.
The official decided to take down the number plate when Mr King flicked his finished cigarette out of the window and drove off.
The vehicle was traced to Rhyl, North Wales, where anti-smoking legislation was introduced in April, three months ahead of England.
Work vehicles used by more than one person must be 'smoke-free at all times', according to the Department of Health. Only work vehicles used by a single driver are exempt.
Mr King, a father of two, was issued with fixed penalties for smoking illegally in his cab and for littering.
The 55-year-old pleaded guilty by letter to Llandudno magistrates.
The court fined him £75 and imposed additional charges of £30 for investigative costs, £65 for legal costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
The £75 litter penalty, which he had already paid, took the final bill to £260.
