Smoking - Biodegradable Cigarette Filters With Seeds

Biodegradable cigarette filter with plant seeds

"Smoking is injurious to health" - We have heard these words often around us. Yes, Smoking has an ill effect on our health and along with us, our environment is also affected in a very negative way.
People and doctors and everyone tell us about a lot of deadly effects caused by smoking like cancer etc. But, we smokers don't pay a heed to them. Isn't it ?

Well, that's one case. There is another way also in which these cigarettes are polluting the earth.






All the smokers know this and all the non smokers must have observed that after a cigarette is smoked completely, the filter (also known as Cigarette butt) is thrown away. Around 5,000,000,000,000 cigarettes are manufactured and smoked all around the world. So, you can imagine the amount of litter produced with these cigarettes.





These cigarette butts are made up of Synthetic. and thus they are resistant to degradation.

Observing the passion of smoking among people and limiting the health related questions that are raised to the companies, they are now extending their hands to ecofriendly cigarettes by switching to Greenbutts - Naturally Better Filters.

Although the people have not seen this cigarette in the markets but we have got a glimpse of this cigarette. Everything would be same as like original cigarettes except the white pipe that contains tobacco in it. You can see a pair of green leaves just above the filter/cigarette butt. Hence, a greenbutt cigarette can be easily identified.            



Apart from all these, to take this step to a higher level, the company is planning to make these biodegradable cigarette filters filled with seeds. Surprised ?

Yes, there will be seeds in cigarette butts. So when you throw away the filter, a plant will start growing out of it. Amazing huh? So in a few days, your thrown away filters would look somehow like this :
