Among the tobacco and smoking sets of the prior art, cylindrical cigarettes with filters are still generally used, and the sales ratio of filter cigarettes in the tobacco industry is much higher than that of other forms of tobacco, and among the huge smoker groups, individual People's quality and environmental awareness are uneven. After people smoke outdoors, their cigarette butts, including filters, are often discarded directly on the roadside. This behavior is not only uncivilized, but also very unfriendly to the environment and pollutes the environment.

Existing cigarettes consist of a cigarette body and a filter tip. The core material of the cigarette filter tip is mainly acetate fiber and propylene tow. These chemical substances are difficult to degrade naturally in the natural environment. Due to the lack of very effective recycling methods in the prior art, these substances have caused certain pollution to the environment. In addition, many smokers underestimate the cigarette butts they have finished smoking, and throw them around without extinguishing them, which leads to many accidental house fire accidents, including major forest fire houses, pasture fire houses, Fireworks and firecrackers production factory fire house and other serious house fire accidents constitute a serious threat to people's life safety, and also caused huge property losses at the same time.

The existing Chinese patent notification number is CN1973704A, which discloses an environmentally friendly cigarette filter tip. Pick healthy bamboo green leaves, place them in a cool and dry place to dry naturally, cut the air-dried bamboo leaves into filaments longitudinally, and then roll them according to conventional techniques. into a filter rod, and then obtained after segmental cutting. The filter tip can be degraded naturally, will not pollute the environment, can effectively filter tar in cigarette smoke, does not produce chemical fine dust, and is beneficial to human health. However, due to mass production, once this cigarette filter is popularized and used, it must be used as a raw material by cutting down bamboo forests, which needs to be at the cost of destroying the ecological environment. This cigarette filter has not yet reached an ideal friendly state to the environment.
