Tracking tobacco waste to combat contraband.

This isn't just a cleanup, it's citizen science in action. It’s a research-driven event where collected cigarette waste is documented and analyzed to better understand illegal tobacco products and their impact. A Greener Future has partnered with researchers to analyze cigarette filter waste and track the presence of legal versus contraband tobacco products in our communities. Your participation helps:

✅ Combat contraband tobacco by providing real-world data on illegal products
✅ Advance scientific understanding of cigarette litter composition and environmental impact
✅ Protect local ecosystems by removing toxic waste from our shared spaces
✅ Contribute to policy change through evidence-based research

Every cigarette butt you collect becomes part of a larger dataset that informs tobacco regulation, environmental protection, and public health initiatives.

About This Research Partnership

A Greener Future is proud to partner with Rothmans, Benson and Hedges Inc. (RBH) to conduct qualitative analysis of cigarette litter in Canada. This research addresses a critical gap in tobacco science by tracking real-world product use through environmental waste analysis, which contributes to broader efforts to understand and reduce illegal tobacco products in Canada.

Key research goals:

• Identify the proportion of legal versus contraband tobacco products

• Monitor changes in filter types as regulations evolve

• Contribute to peer-reviewed scientific literature on tobacco waste

• Support evidence-based policy development

Your participation makes this research possible. Together, we're building a cleaner, healthier future through citizen science.

Tracking tobacco waste to combat contraband.

This isn't just a cleanup, it's citizen science in action. It’s a research-driven event where collected cigarette waste is documented and analyzed to better understand illegal tobacco products and their impact. A Greener Future has partnered with researchers to analyze cigarette filter waste and track the presence of legal versus contraband tobacco products in our communities. Your participation helps:

✅ Combat contraband tobacco by providing real-world data on illegal products
✅ Advance scientific understanding of cigarette litter composition and environmental impact
✅ Protect local ecosystems by removing toxic waste from our shared spaces
✅ Contribute to policy change through evidence-based research

Every cigarette butt you collect becomes part of a larger dataset that informs tobacco regulation, environmental protection, and public health initiatives.
