There are countless studies and a wealth of information on the serious negative impact caused by improperly disposed cigarette butts and tobacco pollution.
Ban the Butt presents the solution to this toxic form of waste that litters every aspect of our environment from streets to beaches. There is no single place free of the contamination that is the byproduct of waste from tobacco use. Cigarette butts are the number one priority in the elimination of dangerous plastics. |
There is an urgent need for change.
The Liberal government has promised to ban Dangerous Plastics in 2021, and although cigarette butts outnumber any other form of plastic waste, and are the only form that releases toxic chemicals and carcinogens into our food chain and ecosystem; tobacco related waste is so far being ignored. This is impacting our health in ways we do not fully understand. Let us stop the problem at the source. |
