Cigarettes, E-Cigarettes, Environment, Mitigation Fee, Podcast, Policy Advocacy

In this episode, we’re talking about the environmental impact of commercial tobacco products. Despite not typically being at the forefront of commercial tobacco prevention and control efforts, now more so than ever, it is paramount to understand how commercial tobacco products negatively impact our environment. You’ll hear about the manufacturing of tobacco, the use of non-biodegradable cigarette filters which remain the world’s most littered plastic item, the impact of e-cigarette and e-liquid waste, and ways that communities across the country are standing up to the commercial tobacco industry to reduce the environmental impact of tobacco products.
