01

Why the pipe objects

Filters are compact plastic fibers that do not disperse like toilet paper and can carry chemical residue.

02

Do this instead

Extinguish cigarettes completely in a safe ash receptacle, then trash the cold butt.

03

Already did it?

Do not flush again to test your luck. If the bowl rises, drains slowly or gurgles, stop using the toilet and call a plumber before it overflows.
