Apparently, tar makes it's way to our beaches not only through oil spills but also through cigarette butts - the most littered item in the world. The toxic chemicals in cigarettes are poison, not only to our bodies but to the environment, oceans and wildlife.

Cigarettes contain hundreds of toxic chemicals and when burned, the filter made of plastic fibers absorbs a big part of it, even tar. This filter/butt is another form of single use plastic and is made of oil, used once and poisoning our planet.
