Make Cigarette filters out of edible fibers, such as oat bran and pscillium. When smokers finish a butt they can stub it out and swallow the remainder. No litter.
Perhaps the butts could be enriched with vitamins to offset some of the damage from the smoking.
Edible Cigarettes

Butt-flicking clay

If you are going to filter something out of the smoke 'cause it's nasty, why would you eat it? |
|
|
I once saw a girl who'd been smoking dope eat the last bit. She regretted it. |
|
|
A bone for using 'edible' and 'butts' together. |
|
|
I am for this, as I hate it when people flick their butts. Unless they use butt clay. |
|
|
And matchheads that taste of mints when you lick them. |
|
|
Aside from the potentially negative effects of ingesting all that extra nicotine and tar, this idea kicks ass. And smokers don't want to worry about negative effects anyway. |
|
|
Come on [monk] it's no different than licking the mirror after snorting a line of cocaine. |
|
|
Yes, but that does make your gums numb, (Galbinus) |
|
|
At least the ants or bugs on the ground will eat them then, and then die from too much tar and nicotine. It's a win win for everyone who doesn't like litter or bugs or litter-bugs [+]! |

I must say,
As a person who has dabbled in smoking,
the idea of eating the butt is not only
compelling, but desired. I frequently find,
(especially when drunk) that I feel the
cigarette has ended far too quickly, and
will sometimes try to smoke the filter
before I begin to feel sick. |

voting this up, just because i'd like to see smokers chewing their cud rather than littering the ground. + |

If you are avoid getting cancer, why would
you take the leaves of plant that contains
carcenogens, dry it, chop it up,
roll it into paper tubes, set it on fire and
then intentially inhale the smoke? |

Since July, smoking in the UK has been banned just about everywhere. I still smoke (where I'm allowed) - I'll never give up, never! Do you hear me? Muahahaha etc., but since they've threatened an £80 (or something similar) fine for dropping butts, I've changed. I've now got a pocket ashtray, and I even get angry when I see others throwing their butts in the street (I've always hated litterbugs, but for some strange reason I used to think that butts weren't litter). So although this was a bad idea in the first place, hopefully one day soon it will be redundant (in the UK at least). |

I know what you mean. Since getting back from Providencia I can't bring myself to throw butts on the floor any more. It was too serene a place to litter, and I've brought the (good) habit back with me to London. |
