Cigarette butts are frequently cast onto the sidewalk and streets, and then pushed into storm drains that flow to streams, rivers, bays, lagoons and ultimately the ocean. Unfortunately, this means ecosystems have a higher chance of being impacted by cigarette butts. Many smokers incorrectly believe that cigarette filters are made of biodegradable cotton. In fact, cigarette filters contain a type of plastic (cellulose acetate), which slowly breaks down, but unfortunately never fully decomposes.

Fortunately, Senator Jenny Oropeza (D-Long Beach) has introduced statewide legislation that bans smoking at State parks and beaches and will ultimately decrease the litter harming wildlife and creating wild fires. Please let your local Senator and Assemblymember know you support this legislation.
