Narrative:

I have already sent in my original detailed report but to recap, the male passenger was smoking in the aft r-hand lavatory. I told him in spanish (his native language) that smoking is prohibited. At first he denied smoking (as the smoke bellowed out of lavatory) then he showed me where he threw the cigarette butt. It was in trash bin under sink in lavatory. I showed it to the captain and he forwarded message.
