Cigarette butts are the most littered item in America and worldwide, with an estimated 7 trillion butts littered every year. They are made of cellulose acetate tow which can take decades to degrade. The document encourages readers to properly dispose of cigarette butts and educate others on the consequences of littering butts, which pollute the environment for long periods.

The document discusses implementing a cigarette litter prevention program to reduce cigarette butt litter in communities. It outlines that cigarette butts are the most littered item and make up 35% of collected litter. The program aims to noticeably reduce cigarette butt litter through enforcing anti-littering laws, raising public awareness, and installing ash receptacles at transition points where smokers tend to discard butts. The program has led to an average 46-55% reduction in cigarette litter in pilot communities.

Cigarette butts contain chemicals like heavy metals that are filtered out during smoking and released into the environment. While smoking may provide temporary stress relief, it damages the health of smokers over time by increasing cancer risks and is harmful to the environment by polluting soil and inhibiting plant growth. The spread of cigarette pollution and health risks from smoking can be reduced by fewer people smoking and properly disposing of cigarette butts.

This document discusses cigarette pollution and potential solutions. It notes that cigarettes are the most littered item worldwide and that each pound of cigarette waste can produce 500 watts of energy. It then describes several programs that aim to reduce cigarette litter:
- Caltrans installed receptacles at rest areas in California to collect cigarette butts, reducing litter.
- The "Butts to Watts" program offers receptacles and collects cigarette waste to convert it into electricity at waste-to-energy plants.
- Several cities, like Oceanside, have implemented cigarette litter collection programs in high traffic areas like beaches and downtown.

Cigarette butts are harmful to the environment and can take over a year to break down. They can start fires when littered and harm wildlife like the rabbit pictured. Cigarette butts are littered because people smoke in public and toss them on the ground. Banning smoking and cigarette sales could help reduce litter and future health risks from cancer.
Waste Art
The document is about an art exhibit by photographer Chris Jordan called "Running the Numbers, an American Self Portait" which uses a series of images to represent the massive amounts of waste produced in the United States each day. Some of the images represent 426,000 discarded cell phones daily, 200,000 cigarette packs consumed like the number of Americans who die from smoking every 6 months, and millions of plastic bottles, bags and aluminum cans thrown out every few minutes or hours. The exhibit aims to highlight how much waste accumulates beyond our sight and emphasize that environmental degradation is caused by the cumulative actions of individuals, so the solution requires changes in personal habits like reducing, reusing and recycling.

Discarded cigarette butts have been linked to large wildfires that destroy wildlife, vegetation, and property. Each year, about 1.69 billion pounds of cigarette butts become waste worldwide. Nearly 95% of cigarette filters are made from plastic that does not decompose easily. Smokers should properly dispose of cigarette butts in an ashtray or ash urn instead of littering.

Are E-Cigs a Passing Craze?
I heard someone say that the whole electronic cigarette deal was just going to "blow over." I think it's absolutely foolish for anyone to really think that e-cigs are a craze or phase. That's just not going to happen. Too many companies are now joining the industry, and some of these e-cig companies have sold products in the MILLIONS. I think it's just beginning. And there is a ton of room for new industry spin offs as well (e-juice, battery designs, flavors, etc).

It is estimated that seven trillion butts are littered every year They’ve become such a huge problem because they are made out of cellulose acetate tow which can take decades to degrade. If you or someone you know litters, please express to them the consequences and dangers of their actions so that cigarette butts can be disposed of properly, or if you see one on the ground take the initiative to throw it out yourself and make a difference!
