The Environmental Damage Caused By Millions of Littered Cigarettes

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Environmental Damage Caused By Millions of Littered Cigarettes
Published: June 12, 2022 by VPR Producer

While many Americans have grown to be increasingly eco-conscious, some things remain the same. It seems like all too often it’s common to see a driver chuck a cigarette butt out the window or throw one on the sidewalk. We speak with expert Thomas Novotny about how this type of littering affects the environment and the wildlife within it.


Guest Information:

  • Dr. Thomas Novotny, professor emeritus of epidemiology and biostatistics, San Diego State University.
