According to the Royal College of Physicians, the majority of vapers are ex-smokers who have transitioned from combustible cigarettes to e-cigarettes for health reasons given that vaping delivers nicotine in a safer way, but did you know that e-cigs, when properly recycled, are also better for the environment?
Keep America Beautiful (KAB), a nonprofit organization focused on community improvement, revealed that the “overall littering rate for cigarette butts is 65%, and tobacco products comprise 38% of all U.S. roadway litter.” Shockingly, in a survey conducted by KAB, 77% of respondents stated that they did not view cigarette butts as litter. Unfortunately, 95% of cigarette filters that end up in the ground or waterways are comprised of cellulose acetate, a substance which is not readily biodegradable and that can have a lifespan of up to 15 years. Cigarette butts which accumulate in gutters are responsible for blight, creating an adverse effect on plants, and are hazardous to animals and marine life who often mistake them for food.
As more and more smokers turn to vaping to help them kick the habit, less and less cigarette related litter is expected to enter our landfills, rivers, and oceans, but what about the electronic devices themselves? If they end up filling up our landfills, then can the vaping industry truly say that e-cigarettes are better for the environment when compared to traditional cigarettes?
