煙蒂是有毒廢棄物

只需環顧四周,煙蒂無處不在。在2020 年,全美有超過90萬個隨地亂丟的煙蒂。1 煙蒂是清理海灘及水道時最常見的有毒廢棄物,也是在加州高速公路上第一常見的物品。23

這種情況實在危險,原因有很多,其中包括:

  • 若是兒童或動物攝入煙蒂是有毒的。45
  • 煙蒂中的有毒化學物質對我們的水源生態系統構成威脅。6
  • 煙蒂所滲出的物質對淡水微生物具有劇毒。7

在2020 年,加州作為年度國際海岸清理活動的一部分,從加州海灘及內陸水道中清除了190,042支香煙。8

據估計,每年在全球有16.9億磅的煙蒂最終成為廢棄物。9 根據加州交通局進行的一項研究發現,煙蒂佔加州收集垃圾總量的34%。10

香煙的生產對環境相當有害。據估計,每生產300支香煙,就需要消耗一棵樹。11

吸煙還會對我們的森林、住家及公園構成直接威脅。12 丟棄的煙蒂一直與導致野生動物、植物及財產遭到破壞的大火有關。13 香煙所引起的火災可燒毀數以千百英畝的土地,並在全加州都曾經發生這類災禍。14

在2021 年,加州投資11億美元用於清理州及地方的廢棄物。15 根據2009年一項關於舊金山街道煙草廢棄物影響的研究發現,煙草廢棄物佔所有垃圾的近25%。據估計,舊金山每年清理煙草產品廢棄物的費用約為740萬美元。16 在此結果公佈後不久,舊金山就制定一項香煙清理費用,用於清理在街道、旅遊場所及排水道的煙蒂。
