cigarette butts: Unignorable source for environmental Smoked cigarette butts: Unignorable source for environmental

Cigarette filters are made of plastic. They’re a synthetic fibre called Cellulose Acetate and take well over a decade to break down. Paper-based, biodegradable filters are now available, but very few have made the switch.Moreover, apart from the metal content of cigarette butts, it also contains contaminants such as nicotine, phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the latter forming a class of compounds known for its carcinogenic properties. The European Tobacco Products Directive sets maximum emission levels for tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide (TNCO) for cigarettes sold in the EU (10mg tar, 1mg nicotine and 10mg carbon monoxide), as measured using the ‘International Standards Organization (ISO)’ method. 34 This method has been criticised for allowing manipulation through filter ventilation, as smokers close the holes in the filter with their fingers and lips. It produces artificially lowered levels of TNCOs, and doesn’t account for smokers’ compensatory behaviours. 35 To date, most litigation against the tobacco industry has focused on the health costs that others (individuals, insurance companies, states) end up paying as a result of cigarette consumption. Similarly, the industry could be held responsible for environmental impacts associated with the sales of their product. In addition, although the tobacco industry has yet to produce a commercially viable biodegradable filter, it may be that there is a technological solution which has so far not met economic requirements. Litigation may change that equation. Poda Lifestyle is actively engaged in the global commercialization of HNB smoking products, which have the potential to reduce the risks associated with combustible smoking products. The Company has developed a patented HNB system that uses proprietary biodegradable single-use pods, which are both consumer and environmentally friendly. The innovative design of the Company's HNB platform prevents cross-contamination between the heating devices and the pods, eliminating all cleaning requirements and providing users with the most convenient and enjoyable potentially-reduced-risk smoking experience. Poda Lifestyle's HNB system is fully patented in Canada and is patent pending in over 60 additional countries, covering almost 70% of the global population. The Company's Poda Pods are the first and only cigarettes to have a completely closed end. This exclusive design eliminates all cleaning requirements and provides a truly ashless HNB cigarette. Poda Lifestyle's fully patented system is one of a kind and solves the major pain-point that ALL other HNB products suffer from: daily cleaning requirements. The Company's flagship Beyond Burn™ Poda Pods contain a unique tobacco-free blend of pelletized tea leaves infused with synthetic nicotine, which provides adult smokers with a smoke-free alternative to their regular habit without sacrificing satisfaction. Beyond Burn™ Poda Pods have been expertly crafted to mimic the sensorial experience of traditional cigarettes without the smoke, without the smell, and without the tobacco. Whatever their direct health impact on or benefit to smokers, cigarette filters pose a serious litter and toxic waste disposal problem. Cellulose acetate is photodegradable but not bio-degradable. Although ultraviolet rays from the sun will eventually break the filter into smaller pieces under ideal environmental conditions, the source material never disappears; it essentially becomes diluted in water or soil [ 10, 11].
