Wouldn’t that just flip the whole goddam world upside down?  Imagine if there were seeds inside every cigarette butt.  Every time a smoker tossed their butt out of a car window or onto the pavement somewhere, it would have a chance to sprout into a beautiful tree or flower or something.  Instead of brands of smokes, you’d buy a pack of Redwoods, or Roses or something.  Never mind that many seeds wont fit into a filter.  The point is, some will, and with biodegradable coverings, this plan seems totally feasible.  Whenever anti-smokers got on their high-horses about how awful smoking is for people and for the environment you just get to wag your head in pity and ask them, “Buddy, when’s the last time you planted a tree, huh?  I planted half a pack last night alone.”

What's Your Brand?
