Our Story

Schtips started with a simple frustration.

Smoking filters are the single most commonly littered items in the world. They’re unpleasant to see, difficult to pick up, and they don’t break down in a way that’s kind to the environment. Traditional filters contain materials like tar and cellulose acetate, which can leach into our lungs, soil, and water over time. They’re also a frequent cause of accidental fires when they’re tossed while still hot.

Schtips exists as an alternative.

Our tips are made to be reusable, easy to clean, and durable. By using a single tip over and over, you’re not tossing something after every session. The material we use is a stabilized, non-toxic elastomer that doesn’t break down into micro-particles and holds up under consistent use.

Beyond the environmental side, we believe in a heightened smoking experience. Set and setting matter. The space you’re in, your mindset, and the music playing - it all impacts your experience. Schtips is built around the idea that smoking doesn’t have to be rushed, careless, or disposable. It can be intentional, and through this, lead to personal growth.

Schtips was built around slowing things down just enough to notice them. The materials matter. The setting matters. The moment matters. So make each one of them count.
