There are many places in England where they do that. In fact the guy who owned the corner shop near me used to do that outside it's entrance.

It is mainly aimed at Asian migrants.

Have you ever walked round a chinese area anywhere in the world when they are going through their morning coughing/spitting/nose blowing rituals? :scared:

The reason for the abhorrence of spitters is originally in the belief that it spreads tuberculosis.

"Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease which is responsible for more deaths than almost any other infectious disease, and was declared a 'global emergency' by the World Health Organization in 1993. TB is curable with a combination of specific antibiotics, but treatment must be continued for at least six months. Today about 7000 TB cases are reported each year in the UK. Most cases occur in major cities, particularly in London. Although anyone can catch TB, for most people in the UK the risk of contracting the disease is very small indeed.
