How does tobacco pollute our air?
- To produce a single cigarette, 14g of CO2 is emitted throughout its lifecycle.
- Tobacco production contributes almost 84 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually. That is equivalent to 280,000 rockets launching into outer space.
- Tobacco smoke contributes to higher air pollution levels and contains three kinds of greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, which pollutes indoor and outdoor environments.
