Don't Flick It!: Keep Fayetteville Beautiful Cigarettes are an unsightly form of litter that not only decrease property values, but also can leach toxic chemicals into area streams and rivers. Cigarette butts are designed to trap the chemicals found in cigarette smoke such as arsenic, benzene and formaldehyde. The following are a few facts provided by Keep America Beautiful: • Overall littering rate for cigarette butts is 65%, and tobacco products comprise 38% of all U.S. roadway litter • 32% of litter at storm drains is tobacco products • The presence of litter in a community decreases property values by a little over 7% • Tobacco litter represents nearly 32% of all litter in outdoor recreation areas • It's the number one most littered item anywhere. Increasing amounts of litter in a business district, along riverfronts or recreation areas create a sense that no one cares, leading to more community disorder and crime • About 95% of cigarette filters are composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic which does not quickly degrade and can persist in the environment. Cigar tips, too, are predominantly plastic • A survey of over 1,000 smokers found that 35% toss five or more cigarette butts per pack on the ground The City of Fayetteville is asking smokers to take a moment and properly dispose of their cigarettes in ashtrays and smoking bins instead of throwing cigarette butts out their window or emptying ashtrays on City streets. It only takes a moment to be stewards of the environment and help the City become a desirable place to live and visit.
