    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?

          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?

            Sooner, I am guessing, than you being willing to address the topic of plastic pollution, which is what this is about.

              that was never my argument, my argument was about the stigmatization only on one vice when it should be on both. I don’t think my words were clear or you are not understanding that.

                    See this?

                    See how it has nothing to do with addiction or putting warning on packs or anything else you’ve decided to bring up?

                    That’s what I’m “on.” It’s called the topic.

                    I won’t be holding my breath and expecting you to have anything to say about it. Not when you can defend the dignity of the poor, oppressed Nicotinian Peoples.
