Did you know that cigarettes are the most littered item in America and the world? Billions of cigarettes are flicked on our sidewalks, trails, beaches, gardens and other public places. Cigarette butts not only make the community look bad, they contain a toxic residue that is harmful to the environment.
Next time you see someone throw their cigarette butt on the ground, ask them to dispose of it properly. We can all make St. Louis County a healthier and more beautiful place to live.
Health Statistic: 43% of adult smokers in Minnesota are in the contemplation stage of readiness to quit. People in the contemplation stage are planning to quit smoking in the next 6 months. ( Minnesota Partnership For Action Against Tobacco)
