It seems like cigarette smokeing is not a significant cause of global warming (cant find a %) but look at these links

Cigarette Smoking Causes Global Warming « Brent Roos

But another site states

Smoking worldwide releases about 2.6 billion kilograms of carbon dioxide in the air every year. It also releases about 5.2 billion kilograms of methane every year. Tobacco growing, curing, and smoking all add to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Great job on the stats. I really never knew. I quit smoking quite a few years ago, but my boyfriend still smokes about a pack or more a day.

I'm glad you all like that idea, I work in a drugstore and people buy Altoids all the time and I figured there had to be a decent way to recycle those rather than just toss 'em.
