I was outside and noticed a lot of cigarette butts on the ground (the snow is melting in Maine and people tossed them around the ashtray that was buried in the snow) and it got me thinking about how they decompose over time.
-- This leads me to ask the questions to which I can't find any answers online:
Are there any bacteria or small organisms known to break down cigarette tar that don't harm Humans?
Could a bacteria be selectively bred or genetically engineered to eat cigarette tar in Human lungs then die off without causing harm to the person as a means of cleaning out tar?
