Cigarette butts may seem small, but they are a big environmental threat if not disposed of right. Filters are made to absorb water, causing them to swell and block drains, leading to clogs and costly repairs.
Cigarette butts do not break down easily and can last for years. Millions end up in landfills and nature, adding to pollution. They contain harmful chemicals like nicotine, which can leak into soil and water, harming wildlife.
Always use proper bins for cigarette butts or join clean-up efforts to reduce their impact.
