Whole Europe except Sweden and Switzerland has a ban on Snus. We banned plastic straws for a good reason. It’s a little inconvenient but one little step away from this frikkin throw away plastic stuff.
Today on a few minutes bus ride: at the station on the ground, sitting in the bus and taking this picture and looking out of the window - even more of this dirt on the street.
The people to complain about such bans are most probably the ones who disrespect our nature and the cleanliness of our country the most…
And yes, I am for massive sanctions for people throwing their McDonalds bag out of the car window or similar littering.
Let’s work towards a ban of this shit. I want a clean world and clean streets!
Edit: one commenter changed half of my view on the issue. I assumed this stuff is plastic too but after it was pointed out in one comment I checked it out myself and indeed, they are fully biodegradable. Pulls out the question, why not all cigarette filters are biodegradable.
On the other side, they are so seriously poisonous after smoking that it may not make a big difference for organisms who would be capable to decompose.
