Tobacco is an enemy of the environment.

The tobacco plant requires a lot of water, fertilisation and insecticides.

Tobacco farms use pesticides that have been banned in developed countries. From these farms such chemicals also spread into the environment.

Once they have entered the environment, the pesticides contaminate the water supplies.
