Cigarette filters deemed unfit for market in new study.

Cigarette filters release thousands of toxins and microplastic fibers into the environment, which are specifically toxic to aquatic larvae, according to a study by the University of Gothenburg. The study also found that cigarette butts are one of the most common forms of litter, with 65% of them never reaching a trash can or ashtray. The lead researcher is calling for a complete ban on cigarette filters, which are a mere marketing plot that don't actually protect smokers, as they are led to believe.
