Cig. butts are nothing but some tobaco fragments and a little paper (wood)
Natural stuff that will decompose and be gone in a week. Some people should
give it a rest.

While Scotty tried to fix his outhouse, 6 of us took Alien out for a

very
nice
sail. It was raining or misting or a combo of both for most of the

time.
The
girls stayed dry under the dodger, handed out the hot chocolate and

had
a
good
time. It was actually very nice sailing, light but steady air around

8-10
knots. Fog rolled in later and the drizzle started to add some

chill,
but
it
was all worth it. There were only about 10 boats out in the area.
Visibility
was too poor to see if more were sailing. I like the rainy sails

because
I'm
usually less tired than on the days where the sun bakes us. 7 out of

10
stars
for a daysail!

Some of the boats that were out were interesting...This is at the

entrance
to
Manhasset bay just after setting out....

Umm, no. Actually the filter part of cigarrette butts is fiberglass that
will not decompose for years, and the "paper" is plasticized to the
point where it will also not degrade easily either.

... Some people should
give it a rest.


Some people (many, actually) should wake up.

Ahhh, if that were only true, but most smokers use filter-tipped cigarettes
and those gawd damn filters are forever.

So there's the answer - ban the filters! As Loco says, the rest is
biodegradable.

I wasn't including filtered cigs. I agree with the filter problem but if the
paper is "plasticized" then why does it burn like paper and not melt and stink
like burning plastic.

Sorry, that wasn't clear. I meant the part of the paper that's wrapped
around the filter. Try burning a cigarette filter some time, if you've
got a strong stomach.

That's just the point Dunall, They don't decompose quickly enough and
when they do they release toxins into our waterways.

Next tackle will be the banning of plastic shopping bags.


Actually, the taxing of plastic shopping bags seems to have worked rather
well in Ireland.

They almost dissappeared overnight!

Not always true. The cigs I used to smoke would burn if you lit the
filter... Maybe it was plastic or paper?
