Why Are People Still Dumping Their Cigarettes on the Ground?

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Why Are People Still Dumping Their Cigarettes on the Ground?
Published: November 3, 2019 by VPR Producer

It’s almost 2020. While many more Americans have grown to be increasingly eco-conscious, some things still remain the same. It seems like almost everyday a smoker can be seen stomping on a cigarette on the pavement or chucking a lighted butt out their car window. Did you know that more than one-third of all collected litter is cigarette butts? We speak with an expert about how this type of litter permanently affects the environment and its ecosystems.


Guest Information:

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