Narrative:

Before boarding; the Y flight attendant noticed a cigarette butt found in row xx. She picked it up and showed it to me. It looked like 3/4 of a smoked cigarette.also on this aircraft; there was no alcohol-based hand sanitizer present for the flight attendants. The only sanitizer that was stocked on the aircraft were the usual foam sanitizers.if there was someone actually smoking on the previous flight at their seat; that's a huge safety hazard. I also don't know how the cleaners (if there were any) missed this; as it was clearly visible if a flight attendant spotted it. Also; it's my understanding that each flight is supposed to have alcohol-based sanitizers. Please make sure that they are available to flight attendants on every flight.
