It would be awesome if you could find some statistic on cigarette waste. That was a huge thing when I worked in water quality – cigarette butts people throw out the window or drop on the ground end up washing down the stormdrains into the ocean and all that stuff in cigarettes ends up contaminating the water. Yuck. Not to mention, it’s better for our health and the air quality to not smoke too! And then there’s the part about possibly starting fires, which some folks I suppose could argue are needed for natural cycles, but are clearly wasteful when you burn down houses and other buildings (leading to lots of nasty pariculates in the air as well as wasting perfectly good materials that require replacement). I could go on…
