Cigarette butts are contaminating the Ocean, killing its inhabitants, and poisoning human life. Each year about 5.6 trillion cigarettes are manufactured worldwide with filters made of cellulose acetate. Cellulose acetate can take over a decade to decompose. One cigarette butt in a liter of water can kill all the life in that water within three days, so imagine what this is doing to the Ocean. My product aims to reduce the amount of damage cigarette users cause to their bodies as well as the planet.
This filter is reusable, sustainable, and allows cigarette users to keep track of how many times they smoke. The filter can help people moderate their habit or help them slowly kick their addiction.

My aim as a Designer is to heal and connect with people in the simplest but most complex ways. With all the chaos and confusion in the world, Design is my way of taking control.
