Eyes on the UK House of Commons later today for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill acceptance of amendments from the House of Lords.

Happening today: day 3 of report stage in the House of Lords for legislation to enable a future ban on cigarette filters in the UK.

Do you know someone who still thinks cigarette filters are made of cotton? It’s one of the biggest myths in environmental waste. They aren't. They are cellulose acetate - a persistent plastic. This World Wildlife Day, help us spread the truth. #NoMoreButts #WorldWildlifeDay

Action in the UK in the past 24 hours as a tobacco free generation becomes closer. Also headway made into a potential filter ban. ash.org.uk/media-centre...

January brought extreme heat across much of Australia. Bushfire season continues - and cigarette butts remain the most littered item in Australia. Litter prevention matters during summer. #BushfireSeason #LitterPrevention

New data confirms cigarette butts remain the most littered item in Australia at 23.6% of all litter collected. 8.9 billion cigarette butts per year is around 17,000 every minute. Cigarette filters are plastic pollution. Stronger regulation and producer responsibility are overdue. #NoMoreButts

Malaysia: Woman sent to jail for 15 days, given an additional 6 hours of community service and charged 250 USD for littering two items, including a cigarette butt. Too much? Not enough? About right? www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/...

❓ 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. #binyourbutt

📝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.
