To mark the ‘No Tobacco Day’ on 31 May and to show the concerns about the cause of environmental health and love of cars, a team of five undergraduate students in Xi’an, China made an anti-smoking sports car from discarded cigarette cases. The all electric car is of the same size as a real car and weighs 300kgs. And on the top of that it actually runs. Made while meticulously putting 10,280 discarded cigarette packets one after the other, it took eight months to give this vehicle present shape. The team was helped by more than 2500 students to collect the discarded cigarette packets. The eco friendly car appeared in the Xi’an Electrical and Information Institute and attracted thousands of students.
