TIL Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic pollution
Cigarette butts are the most abundant form of plastic waste in the world, with about 4.5 trillion individual butts polluting our environment.
If you needed yet another reason to quit smoking, here it is.
You're viewing part of a thread.
how harmful do you consider tobacco in the context of booze?
Is it a contest?
No, i dont think so, i just don't think its fair to demonize smoking if we celebrate drinking. everyone has a vice.
When did I celebrate drinking? Both addictions are huge burdens on the healthcare system.
Both should be demonized.
This post being about plastic waste caused by cigarettes, I'm not sure why you're whatabouting alcohol.
It came up on the context of nicotine and how much people are addicted, yet i don't see the uproar of the people who throw their empties into the river or on the road.
Because people were already aware of the problems there and, just based on comments, many people aren't even aware that cigarette filters are plastic.
Do you bring up cigarettes whenever alcoholism is mentioned or is this only a one-way street?
i always bring it up when people defend it but alienate smokers
So it is, in fact, a one-way street. It's all about smokers.
no, im stating that people will demonize smoking which is fair, but when drinking is discussed its "socially acceptable" When are we going to start putting warning labels on alcohol bottles/boxes like we do with cigarettes?
When are we going to start putting warning labels on alcohol bottles/boxes like we do with cigarettes?
Sooner, I am guessing, than you being willing to address the topic of plastic pollution, which is what this is about.
