protect environment from the problems of tobacco product that have proven the facts and studies that it cause degradation of ecosystems, which led to pollute many regions in the world by toxic waste and first that have occurred .
@ Salah, tobacco product cause pollution by being carried as runoff to drains and from there to rivers, beaches and oceans. Studies show that organic compounds (such as nicotine, pesticide residues and metal) seep from cigarette butts into aquatic ecosystems, becoming acutely toxic to fish and microorganisms. Cigarette smoking also releasing toxic air pollutants into the atmosphere. The toxic chemicals in the residues of cigarette butts seep into soils and waterways, thereby causing soil and water pollution, respectively . Discarded lit cigarettes can cause fires, which can damage homes and land.
Hello,
I appreciate you dear colleagues for discussing such important topic regarding high volume of cigarette production and high number of its consumers all around the world. You all mentioned good points and I am in agreement with your statements. Production of cigarettes may have many aspects that should significantly be considered like its economical significance, its environmental impacts, its impacts on human body and consequently on the health status of the society, which is mentioned by Neda Ravankhah
as well.Best, Elaheh
Such an amazing topic to discuss on. Overwhelmed to read amazing answers.........
thank you, All the appreciation of my colleagues for these answers and meaningful scientific discussions
Tobacco growing has led to deforestation amongst many other environmental effects. According to a WHO report, about 2.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and 5.2 million tonnes of methane are released into the atmosphere. And these gases are available in the atmosphere as a result of deforestation. These gases form part of the green house gases and contribute greatly to the Green House effects. This has lead to a significant depletion of the ozone layer globally and consequently, cigarette and tobacco use has contributed to global warming.
Dear Salah,
Tobacco use causes negative effects in different direct and indirect ways.
Smoking is injurious to health as well as pollutes the environment.
Tobacco in different other forms pollutes the environment in different ways .
There should be an effective way of creating awareness over the globe against the use of tobacco in different forms to have a healthy Society and Environment.
Thanks

Dear Nityananda Das ... Thank you... Really, environmental awareness is an important thing that we miss so much.
It cause negative impact on biodiversity and increase green house gas level in atmosphere.
We observe in our daily life, lots of side effects of smoking including health hazards. Public awareness and government's proper initiative can reduce smoking adverse effects.
Cigarette butts cause pollution by being carried, as runoff, to drains and from there to rivers, beaches and oceans. Preliminary studies show that organic compounds (such as nicotine, pesticide residues and metal) seep from cigarette butts into aquatic ecosystems, becoming acutely toxic to fish and microorganisms.

The problem in this area lies in the lack of environmental and health awareness about the dangers of smoking... So is the ineffectiveness of laws.
One of the bad habits in our society known since ancient times is smoking; Despite its various risks to the health of the individual and society in all social aspects Among the harmful effects of smoking on the environment, smoking causes air pollution. Due to the presence of a large number of toxic substances in it, Non-smokers are exposed to tobacco smoke through polluted air, which affects their health. Spoil the beauty of the environment, Needs large sums of money; Because it needs a ventilation system, maintenance, and special filters to purify the air from tobacco smoke.
Dr.Suhad Qasim Almusawi Thanks for this valuable information … I have pointed to a very important point: the need for money to address the negative effects of tobacco use on health and the environment.
Thank you Aijaz Panhwar ... We can say that there are other elements that pollute the environment more than smoking. But at the same time, smoking and cigarette butts can play a negative role in several regions of the world if used unreasonably or balanced.
Smoking cause lunge cancer. It pollute environment. It damage ecosystem. So we should leave it.
Smoking cause lunge cancer. It pollute environment. It damage ecosystem. So we should leave it.
Smoking causes cancer. It is injurious to health. Also, it pollutes the environment. The only thing is we concern person health issues rather than environmental pollution.
thank you G.V.P. Samaranayake
Realistic talk … One of the problems we still suffer from is that preserving the
environment is not the focus of the attention of many people or competent authorities, although its negative effects affect human health in the end.
Tobacco consumption transfer from one generation to another side by side to those areas where peoples spent much time on it with friends, relatives and official staff. This will directly affect the new generation of people by imitation those. I requested to all stakeholders to banned its production and consumption.
Kailash Raman Bhatt ...All the best ... Thanks for this remark ... Indeed, tobacco consumption has become an inherited one that is transmitted from generation to generation... Which is a negative point that requires greater awareness.
