How Much Garbage Produced by Cigarettes?

Some companies create teabags without the strings, tags, staples and wrappers, you know why? Because by abstaining from the use of these unnecessary materials they have reduced on the amount of garbage produced every year. They have estimated that by not using strings, tags, staples, or wrappers, that they've prevented up to 3.5 million pounds of garbage per year!

Now, considering that, just imagine how many millions of pounds of garbage could be abstained from if people did not smoke cigarettes with the butts attached? Additionally, the seemingly harmless ashes of burned cigarettes do add up to pounds and pounds if weighed- so that there is a concern for the planets health as well. Besides that it is unhealthy for the human body -that is smoking by choice and those inhaling second hand smoke, just imagine how much smaller the concern for global warming could be if this disgusting-smelly habit were avoided altogether?

don't forget that 'tar' is in cigarettes, the product used for holding paved roads together. Basically, smokers are smoking the road they are driving on, obviously, that is unappealing to anyone, similarly, smoking should be unappealing to everyone as well, not just for the fact that it is unhealthy for us, but because it is literally polluting the planet we live on. Also, it is a harmful habit to smokers wallets, with or without the taxes attached.
