❓ Did you know ...?

🚬 A single cigarette contains 7,000+ chemicals.

🌱 When the butt hits the ground, those toxins seep into our environment - polluting water, soil, and wildlife habitats.

☣️ Cigarette litter = environmental poison.

📝Things we're leaving in 2025:

- cigarette filters (they don’t offer any health benefit)
- disposable vapes (that still can’t be disposed of in some states)
- stressing whether our social posts gain likes and shares
- people who think our mission is supporting the tobacco industry

🎶Bin your Butts (to the tune of Jingle Bells)🎶

Bin your butts, bin your butts
Hear us when we say
What gets flicked on the streets and sand
Gets washed out to the bay, hey!

Bin your butts, bin your butts
They’re plastic in disguise
They poison soil and ocean life
Right before our eyes.

A filter ban may be a step closer after a couple of decisions at #COP11FCTC.

Although not mentioned in the decisions, reports provided to the COP proposed a filter ban as a forward-looking measure.

It's time. There's #nomorebutts.

BREAKING: After a motion in the City of Capitola Council on Aug 28, Santa Cruz County is set to be the first known jurisdiction in the world to implement a ban on the sale of filtered cigarettes by July 2027.

Filters are an unnecessary single-use product and now governments are supporting a ban.

@who.int and @whofctc.bsky.social have called for a ban (or phase out) of cigarette filters in their statement as INC-5.2 begins at UN in Geneva. No More Butts fully supports this.
Health, environment and many member states agree, we need to #banthebutt

If cigarette filters don’t protect human health but are destroying our environment, why are they still allowed to be sold?
