Cigarette Butts and The Sea

I concern myself to the environment, specifically the sea, and to tobacco control. Even though tobacco control runs in the health area, cigarettes also have an impact on the environment. The smoke it produces along with its butts causes pollutions.

Cigarette butts are the most polluted item to be found in the sea. It causes harm as it leaks dangerous chemicals and animals mistakes it for food. Since they are small, most do not think to pick them up and throw them away properly. During beach cleanup or any other cleanup, it is rather hard to collect them due to their size. That is why I plan to start a campaign concerning cigarette butts in the hopes that people do not carelessly throw them away and pollute the environment.
