Smoking is quite the filthy habit. However, in this photo it indicates what this location we're looking at is used for. We see an ash tray filled with water and surrounded by cigarette butts. A glass also lays to the side. It seems like this location is used by someone as a place to smoke often, to the point they keep an ash tray outside and a glass. However, once you are drawn away from that, you notice a pink glass bird sitting in front of this mess. It makes on think, "Why it is there?" Maybe it was placed there by the frequent smoker to lighten the scene of the location, that is otherwise littered with cigarette butts. Or maybe it was staged to contrast the ugliness of the scene with something of more aesthetic value. Either way, the photo is too ambiguous for one to definitively say anything, so it is up to the viewer to decide what this all means.
