Everyone knows that cigarettes are one of the big hobbies of male friends, although smoking is harmful to health, but it is impossible to control the addiction to smoking.
Cigarettes alone spend a lot of money every month, and those of us who don't smoke have to smoke secondhand smoke along with it, which has an impact on our health and the environment around us.
However, such cigarette butts, which have many shortcomings, can play an unexpected role when put into water. Do you wonder? Let's explore together today to see what magical effects a small cigarette butt can have.
What's inside a cigarette butt?
Cigarette butts contain a substance called "nicotine", when we soak the cigarette butts in water after smoking, this substance will dissolve in the water, and the color of the water will also turn yellow, thus releasing its miraculous effect.
Although we know that "nicotine" has a certain harm to the human body, it has a unique effect on other organisms, such as nicotine can kill insects and mosquitoes, and has a good repellent effect on pests that break into the home.
Let cigarette butts "turn waste into treasure"
When the cigarettes we smoke are burned out, we should not throw them away at will, and leave them at home for waste use, which reduces the generation of garbage and reduces the pollution to the environment.
Tens of thousands of cigarette butts every day bring a heavy burden to environmental pollution. Let these discarded cigarette butts be turned into treasures by simply disposing of them, and let them continue to shine rather than discarding them randomly.
What are the cigarette butts that are not useful
First, let's prepare a clean container, and then put the finished cigarette butts in the container. Add water according to the ratio of 10 cigarette butts to one pound of water.
Next, soak the cigarette butts in clean water, and after a day or two you will notice that the color of the water gradually turns brown.
At this point, you can filter out the cigarette butts and impurities, and then leave only the soaked water for later use, now let's see what the magic of this water can do.
1. Natural mosquito repellent
Summer has arrived, and mosquitoes have come out to do evil, which makes us very distressed. At this time, you can use a small watering can to fill a little cigarette butt with water and spray it in all corners of the room, as well as near doors and windows, around the trash cans at home, etc., and spray it in places where mosquitoes are easy to hide. The smell of nicotine can keep mosquitoes away.
2. Shoe deodorization artifact
Nicotine also has a powerful deodorizing effect, which can remove all odors from your shoes and socks. As we exercise more in the summer, our feet will sweat, and some shoes will be worn for a day.
At this time, you may wish to soak the socks and shoes in water soaked in cigarette butts for 40 minutes (on the premise that the shoes will not be damaged due to soaking), and then wash them with water and soap, and then find that the unpleasant smell disappears.
3. Clean up the stain remover
Whether it's a mirror, glass or tile in your home, if it's a stain that's hard to clean, you can spray a little water soaked in cigarette butts, and then try to wipe it with a rag to get your glow. Because nicotine contains good cleansing benefits, you might as well give it a try.
4. The nemesis of plant pests
Before the plant insects at home, I don't know how to be good, I can only throw away the whole pot of plants, and now I know that the original cigarette butt soaked in water can also effectively prevent green plants from suffering from pests, and I knew earlier that I could save these flowers and plants in time.
Then dilute the cigarette butt water 10 times and spray it in the place where there are insects, and the remaining cigarette butt water can be kept for watering the flowers, once or twice a week. After a few times in a row, you can basically get rid of bugs.
Notes:
Although cigarette butts have many miraculous effects, in the process of use, we should also pay attention to safety, after all, the nicotine in cigarettes is harmful to health.
Therefore, we must try to avoid our own skin and eyes, we can wear disposable gloves when operating, and colleagues should also pay attention to the proportion when spraying cigarette butts, and we can open windows to keep the room ventilated to reduce the concentration of nicotine.
summary
I can't imagine that the butt butt that we discarded has such a miraculous effect, although this is not a reason for you to smoke more, for the health of yourself and your family, it is better to smoke less.
