Tobacco cultivation, curing, primary processing, cigarette manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal, plus transportation and waste management activities at every process stageД¬igarette sticks including manufactured and roll your own sticks containing 1 and 0.75 g of tobacco and accounting for 98.35% and 1.65% production, respectively aДЄ tonne of produced and consumed tobacco, equivalent to 1 million cigarette sticks b Increased awareness, as well as better monitoring and assessment of the environmental issues associated with tobacco, should support the current efforts to reduce global tobacco use as an important element of sustainable development. Tobacco competes with essential commodities for resources and places significant pressures on the health of our planet and its most vulnerable inhabitants. A typical cigarette was shown to have a water footprint of 3.7 L, a climate change contribution of 14 g CO 2 equiv, and a fossil fuel depletion contribution of 3.5 g oil equiv. The cultivation of 32.4 Mt of green tobacco used for the production of 6.48 Mt of dry tobacco in the six trillion cigarettes manufactured worldwide in 2014, were shown to contribute almost 84 Mt CO 2 equiv emissions to climate change-approximately 0.2% of the global total, 490вЂЇ000 tonnes 1,4-dichlorobenzene equiv to ecosystem ecotoxicity levels, and over 22 billion m 3 and 21 Mt oil equiv to water and fossil fuel depletion, respectively.
