In EU, tobacco companies now has to pay for clean up of cig butts, due to extended producer responsibility. However, this soft policy measure is not sufficient. We argue that filters should just be banned: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/…

#CigaretteButts are the most #littered item on the planet. They are made of #plastic and are #toxic, consisting of thousands of #chemicals and #microplastics. Plus they don’t even protect human health (we’ve been tricked).

How to Stop Cigarette Butt Litter
in #Hakai magazine
#CigaretteButts are commonly littered (by the billions), and they are #toxic in the environment, consisting of #microplastics and thousands of #ToxicChemicals. Yet we can't seem to get people to stop littering them!
We should ban single-use cigarette filters!
