Cigarettes contain 4000 chemicals. With every breath, the smoker releases these chemicals into the air around them.
2. Cigarette Disposal Poisons the Land and Water
Millions of cigarette butts are tossed on the ground everyday. Butts on average take 25-26 years to decompose. Many butts make their way into bodies of water where they are often mistaken by animals for food.
3. Cigarette Production
1 tree=300 cigarettes. Transportation of cigarettes and cigarette materials also further pollute the environment. Tobacco plant production requires the use of dangerous pesticides. Cigarette Packaging also requires the destruction of more trees.
It's clear: Smoking Sucks For the Environment
