Cigarette Recycling Project

This project is about recycling used cigarette stubs. You will find that Billions of £ and $ worth of tobacco is thrown away every year by accident as used stubs. You will be surprised on how much tobacco is still left on the end of a stub, and it soon mounts up .

Breaking Up the Stubs Into Usable Tobacco

Your next step is to break up the stubs into smokable tobacco. Put the filters into a second container because we will be recycling the filters as well.

Recycling the Filters

We are going to reuse the filters. To do this you must remove any burnt and carbonised parts of the filter. Just cut off the burnt parts . If you wish you can even make the filter smaller by cutting the filter in half.

Rolling Machine Optional

You might find using a Rolling Machine, easier to use, but this is only optional. You can roll your tobacco by hand if you wish. I am using a rolling machine because it will be easier while adding the filter, at one of the machine's ends. First I add the filter and then the tobacco. Position your cigarette paper after wetting the gum. You then use the machine to roll your cigarette with the filter into a rolled cigarette with filter tip.

Finished Rolled Recycled Cigarettes From Stubs

You will now save yourself hundreds of £ pounds or $ Dollars. The rolled cigarettes are now ready for smoking . The filter tips are also optional . But again its your choice.

A special tip:

If you start to run out of lighter fuel you can use a Tea Candle, to light you cigarettes during the day.
