Sam Armytage sends a strong message to smokers

Most of us know Sam Armytage’s smiling face from Sunrise.

But if you follow her on social media you’ll know she’s not afraid to speak her mind on issues close to her heart.

This time she’s taken up the fire safety cause, and it’s an issue close to her heart because her father is a volunteer firie.

Armytage posted on her Instagram account about a bushfire burning in New South Wales, and had a message for smokers.

“My dad (& many others!) have just spent ALL night fighting a bushfire out past Currawarna,” she wrote.

“It started beside the main road.

“If you smoke cigarettes, DO NOT THROW YOUR BLOODY BUTTS OUT THE WINDOW.

“FFS. Think about it people.”
