Remember that this lens is not against smokers,but the actual harm done by smoking
How long does a cigarette butt intrude upon nature?
An unexpected length of time!
Cigarette filters are 100 percent nonbiodegradable and made up of a plastic compound called cellulose acetate, which contains toxic chemicals!
These toxic chemicals can seep out and pollute everything it surrounds!
It can take a single cigarette more than 15 years to disintegrate naturally!
So next time you see a cigarette on the ground pick it up it doesn't take that much effort!
Water Pollution!
Many cigarette boxes and cigarette butts end up in rivers and lakes!
1 single cigarette butt can pollute 40 l of drinking water!
Think about people the average smoker smokes a pack a day thats 20 cigarettes!
The chances of these discarded butts ending up in our lovely rivers is very high!
TRASH!
