E-Cigarettes are good for the Environment
Posted: May 5th, 2009 | Author: admin | Filed under: E-Cigarette Benefits | Tags: E-Cigarette Benefits | 3 Comments »How often have you been driving down the road and you have seen someone flick their cigarette butt out their car window? Most people that flick their cigarette butts out their window don’t consider it to be littering. Wouldn’t it be nice to help the environment by smoking E-Cigarettes instead of making a mess with those smelly cigarette butts? I think some people don’t realize how valuable the invention of E-Cigs really are.
Worldwide, smokers toss at least 4.5 trillion cigarette butts each year, accounting for 38% of worldwide debris. I guess that it doesn’t seem like a lot when it’s just one cigarette butt. Cigarette butts are the most common debris item collected over seas. During the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, in 2007 there were 1,971,551 cigarette filters, cigar tips, and tobacco packaging.
Even though individually, cigarette butts are small, they take up a large volume of space. If a person smokes a pack-and-a half a day, they will consume more than 10,000 cigarettes in a year. This number of cigarette butts will fill a volume of five liters.
Just how harmful are these discarded cigarettes butts? The average cigarette butt contains numerous chemicals which may be considered a health hazard. They are made of synthetic polymer cellulose acetate and never degrade. They only break apart after roughly 12 years. Within an hour of contact with water, cigarette butts can begin leaching chemicals such as cadmium, lead and arsenic into the marine environment.
Looking at the by product of smoking, it appears that there are toxins in everything. The cigarette smoke is bad for the smoker and anyone that is close enough to inhale the second hand smoke. The cigarette butts are harmful to environment and to wildlife. This is all because a smoker needs to get their nicotine fix. By using an electronic cigarette, a smoker will be able to get their nicotine without making the Mother Nature pay for their messy habit.
