Design often changes the lifestyle to improve the function or the quality. Sometimes, the design could badly restrict or change those habit. To avoid that bad result of the design, a passive attitude to design was accepted for the case that a number of locals in the Beijing old downtown area still throw away cigarette butt in the drain. If the drain cover is ash tray would be more effective than establishing smoking area at the corner of the street. In that way, the locals do not have to change their habit, which , to some extent, improves smoking manner.
