You see it all the time. People tossing cigarette butts out the window of their car. Individuals that would never think of "littering". Respectful, law-abiding adults; LITTERING!
I live in Los Angeles, we have beaches, and when you go, what is one of the main things washed up on the beach? BUTTS. I have heard that cigarette butts make up more litter than any other litter - from people in the city tossing their cig butts out and then the .... washing into the drain system straight into the ocean.
Started thinking about it tonight and did some research. Guess what? TRUE FACT.
"Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic litter on the beaches of the U.S. and world-wide. Toxic chemicals can leach out of the cigarette filters."

Another very good reason we need to get more smokers vaping.
