Eco fag butt compressing   (+3)  [vote for, against]

Simply buy the Wonder NMRM Co fag butt compressor, fill it with fag ends you collect from the street during the spring, summer and autumn, compress into bricks and burn all winter!!!

And you don't have to buy cigarettes then, just go close to the fire and inhale.

I'm pretty sure cigarette butts are a combination of almost impossible to burn and horribly poisonous when burned. [+]

I think you are thinking of cigarettes with filters, while the OP was thinking of fag butts without filters.

I think this idea might work, but if you want it to burn long, you might want to make it highly compressed, like hashish blocks. You would really have to bear down hard on the fag butts to do this.

Hmm, there's probably a industry standard for optimum pressure on the fag butts, in pascals. But when I search for it, I always seem to find other material.

I'm presuming a mix of filtered, non-filtered and hand-rolled.

Disapointed this is not some kind of underwear.-

Would pounding the fag butts help any?

I'd just be happy if the filters were biodegradable.

I'm beginning to suspect some of our transatlantic cousins might be taking a different interpretation of this idea.

I heard that! Who sniggered?

Soak the butts in water, mix in some sawdust and water...press into briquettes. <link>

Save the water (and all that nicotine) to spray on your garden to kill the bugs. <link>
