Rejected petition Make Spitting in Public Illegal.

To pass a law that makes people spitting in public illegal.
It is a disgusting habit- people constantly spitting on the streets right next to other people.
Now even during Covid with the spreading of diseases people continue to spit.

More details

Not only will it make safer and reduce the spread of Covid but it will stop a disgusting habit.

As a dentist having learnt about the mouth, saliva, salivary glands and flow rates I do not understand the need for people to constantly spit in public.
Even professional football players do it then roll around in each others spit.
