Cigarettes have become a global topic of conversation due to their negative impact on health and the environment. Cigarettes contain harmful substances that can cause serious illnesses such as respiratory problems, heart disease, and damage the lungs. Not only is it bad for the consumer, but also for people who are exposed to secondhand smoke. Cigarette smoke is still harmful even if not inhaled directly, especially for pregnant women and children who are very vulnerable. In addition, the environment is also affected by this. Cigarette butt litter is small, but it is common everywhere. Many smokers with a low level of awareness dispose of cigarette ends carelessly, as a result cigarette ends can pollute the environment. There have been many advertisements or baners calling for the dangers of smoking, but the number of smokers remains high. Many countries have implemented various ways to reduce cigarette consumption, such as increasing cigarette prices and limiting cigarette advertising. However, public awareness and commitment are key to realizing positive, healthier change. Avoiding the purchase of tobacco products and starting to live healthier lives by exercising, eating healthy foods, and engaging in other positive activities can reduce the adverse effects of smoking on health and the environment.
