just one butt<\/em>\u00a0isn\u2019t really a problem, cigarette filters are made from plastic (acetate) which like other plastic products, take forever to properly breakdown.<\/p>\nThey end up going down the drain, or staying on\u00a0festival\u00a0grounds, which ultimately\u00a0impact\u00a0our beautiful land and oceans!<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a fun fact too: almost 7 trillion cigarettes are smoked worldwide every year. Do you think even half of those land up in an ashtray as they should? Certainly not!<\/p>\n
Not only that, there\u2019s a ton of artificial additives in a typical cigarette. These chemical additives increase their toxicity. Smoking itself is inherently bad enough for you. Plus, regular papers are bleached with chlorine, too!<\/p>\n
How does Smokey Treats aim to solve this problem?<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
Woodland Craft Cigarettes do things a bit differently. The filter is made up of biodegradable wood-pulp, which over time will completely disintegrate.<\/p>\n
There are no additives in\u00a0the locally\u00a0(African) sourced tobacco. There\u2019s no bleach in the paper, no plastic in the packaging (it\u2019s actually recycled cardboard) and no synthetic inks.<\/p>\n
The ultimate question to any cigarette smoker \u2013 does it take like a\u00a0normal<\/em>\u00a0cigarette, especially the brand that I personally smoke?<\/p>\nProbably not. While all cigarettes at their core essentially are a huff of smoke in your lungs, every smoker has an acquired brand they find most desirable.<\/p>\n
Are there other alternatives?<\/h2>\n
While Woodland Craft Cigarette is the only full eco-friendly cigarette, a number of organic roll-your-own tobaccos and accessories (like filter tips and papers) have become available on the market. A few people have also shifted towards vapes and CBD vapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
