A. Background of the Study:
This experiment aims to develop a product that would serve as an alternative for some expensive commercial glue. There are many people-using cigarette and after using they just toss aside a cigarette while walking not thinking that it can be recycle and used. commercial glue is relatively expensive because the materials used in manufacturing are tissues from animals.
B. Problem:
This study aims to test the feasibility of using cigarette filter as a source of glue.
C. Hypothesis:
Alternative- hypothesis:
Cigarette filter is a good source in producing glue.
Null- Hypothesis:
Cigarette filter is not a good source in producing glue.
D. Significance:
Glue is very common used in homes, schools and offices. Many people just toss aside a cigarette filter and it can be recycled and used. Due to the expensiveness and unaffordable of some glue, many would prefer making home made glue. Glues from cigarette filter is affordable and easy to make.
E. Scope and Limitation:
This study only limited by their stickiness. There are many kinds of glues, they are stick glues, paper glues, glitter glues and etc. This glue differ according to its quality. This glue that we made can’t be used as stick glue because the glue that we made is liquid. This study is limited only for paper, cloth and wood. F. Definition of Terms:
The Term Paper on Cigarette Smoking Among Teenagers
Whether they choose to light up their first cigarette on their own or are unwitting victims of passive smoking, Filipino youth are increasingly at risk from tobacco exposure. “The younger a child starts to smoke, the greater the chances of becoming a regular smoker,” said Dr Maricar Limpin, executive director of the non- government group Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance ...
Cigarette filter- is a foam-like found at the end of the cigarette. Acetone
– is a liquid solvent for certain oils, etc.
– a co9lorless, extremely flammable liquid, used as a solvent. Nicotine
– a poisonous liquid in tobacco
– a poisonous alkaloid, derived from the tobacco plant used in medicine and as an insecticide. Cellulose – an amorphous polymer, the main constituent of all plant tissues and fibers, used in the manufacture of paper, textiles and explosives. Charter II
Procedure:
Gather all the materials
Removed the cover that attached in the filter
Wash the filters by water
Dried the filters under the heat of the Sun
Cut the filters into tiny pieces
Put the tiny pieces of filters in a cup or container
Put acetone in the filters and lrt it dissoved
the sudstance was transfered into a clean bottle
Cover and kept in a cool place

Review of Related Literature and Related Studies:
Historically, glue only refers to protien colloids prepared from animal tissues. Glue is essentially collogen, a protein derived from the skin, bones and connective tissues of cattle and is an important by product of the meat packing industry. Although ther are many ingredients used to make glue most formulas contain something called polymers which its nature is sticky. Cigarette filter also known as cigarette butts. it contain hazardous chemicals like cadinium, arsenic and lead. It is made for safer smoking. the row materials for the manufacture or cigarette filter is celluluse. it is acetylated, dissolved, and spun as continous synthetic fibers arranged imto a bundle called tow. this tow is opened, plasticized, shaped, and cut to act as a filter. Chapter IV
Result and Discussion:
The glue from cigarette filter had undergone a seviral test. It was tested in papers and cloths. to found out what appropriate concentration is effective as glue, at the same time what materials is it best used. The data below shows the effectiveness of glue from cigarrette filter.
Conclusion and Recommendation:
Melting process were done to produce glue from cigarette filter using acetone as solvent. It was found out that the glue from cigarette filter has lesser stickyness property than commecial glue. However, the glue from cigarette filter was able to meet the standard properties of glue. It was cocluded thet the use of recycled materials as a sudstitute of commercial glue for paper is feasible
The Term Paper on Cigarette Production and CSR
For the capstone course we are supposed to do research which consists of research proposal, research diary and final report, which should include finally all the facts, knowledge of research question, final report is the result of the project. I was always interested in cigarette industry, I mean how do cigarette corporations like Philip Morris or British American Tobacco, for instance, promote ...
