“…Two months after co-cultivation, the plants were harvested and the PAs were quantified. It was really fascinating to realize that, in all acceptor plants co-cultivated with the Senecio plants, quite high concentrations of PAs were present; e.g., in parsley, on average, more than 200 μg of PAs/kg of dry weight had accumulated . These results evinced clearly that the PAs, originally synthesized and accumulated in the Senecio donor plants, had been relocated into the parsley acceptor plants.…”

“…Moreover, at least in the pot experiments, a further possibility has to be considered, i.e., a direct transfer by root grafts. Because, in the pot experiments, the roots of the Senecio donor plants and the parsley acceptor plants exhibited an intimate contact, interspecific root grafting as described by Basnet et al could not be excluded. Accordingly, co-culture experiments had been repeated under field conditions, employing different spatial distances between the experimental plants .…”

“…Meanwhile, the uptake of many other alkaloids from the soil as well as other natural products, such as coumarins or stilbenes, had been verified (Table ). The insights and coherences constitute the basis for the concept of the “horizontal natural product transfer”, , which is displayed in Figure . When natural products are leached out into the soil from decomposing plant parts, denoted as donor plants, these compounds are taken up by the roots of other plants.…”

“…As a result of the general underlying mechanisms, all plants will take up these substances; therefore, they are denoted as acceptor plants. Subsequently, after their uptake by the roots, the substances are translocated via xylem into the leaves. , …”

Just recently, the "horizontal natural product transfer" was unveiled: alkaloids, which have been leached out from decomposing alkaloidal donor plants, are taken up by the roots of acceptor plants. In the same manner, many other natural products, such as coumarins or stilbenes, are also taken up from the soil. Recent research outlined that alkaloids are transferred also from a living donor plant to plants growing in their vicinity. In the acceptor plants, the imported natural products might be modified by hydroxylation and glucosylation. These insights will strongly impact our understanding of contamination of plantderived commodities as well as plant−plant interactions.

“…In this context, the transfer of nicotine from discarded cigarette butts into other plants cannot be neglected [53,54]. For instance, the “horizontal transfer of natural products” and its relevance for contaminations of plant-derived commodities have to be considered [55,56].…”

Smoking is a social phenomenon of global scope. The impacts start from the cultivation of the plant to the disposal of cigarette butts in the most diverse places. These aspects go beyond economic and public health issues, also affecting natural environments and their biota in a serious and indistinct way. Of the six trillion cigarettes consumed globally each year, four and a half trillion are disposed somewhere in the environment. Cigarette butts are predominantly plastic, non-biodegradable waste, prevalent in coastal environments in various parts of the world, and with high potential for generating impacts on a wide range of socioeconomic and environmental aspects. Among the 5000 compounds found in a cigarette, those with higher toxic potential are mainly concentrated in the filter and in tobacco remnants, which are items found in discarded cigarette butts. After surveying published studies on this topic, the present study addressed the interaction between the impacts related to tobacco smoking, highlighting the problem as an important and emerging issue that demands joint efforts, and actions especially focused on the reduction of environmental impacts, an aspect that has not yet been assessed.
