This double-sided fact card warns about the environmental damage caused by tobacco waste. Cigarette butts are toxic; they can be harmful and even deadly for animals, children, and the environment. The filters are not biodegradable and break down into tiny particles called microplastics. Vape waste also harms the environment because it contains metal parts and batteries, along with toxic chemicals. People are encouraged to find out more about how to get involved in preventing tobacco waste. Includes information on Kick It California cessation services.
