    As an old fart. 53. I have to say. The number of cig butt’s is way lower then it was in the past.

    Really nothing more then me stating an observation. But during the 80s. And into the 90s. Throwing butt’s on the road was just what folks did.

    At least now most folks have the idea it is bad. So there is some notacible attempt to limit it.

    As for vapes. I sorta agree. Its an easy visable attack point.

    But like all disposable plastic. It needs to be the manufacturers who are held responsible more then the users. At least this seems to be doing that.

    But we have plenty of plastic alternatives. It’s just the cost that stops corps using them. If disposable plastics as a whole are banned. Then the corps are forced to look for cheaper production methods. And to swap.

    That said. I don’t smoke. (Did for a while way back)

    Are the foam like filters in cig butt’s made from a plastic product. Like most other foam. Or is it biodegradable. I habe no idea. On phone atm. (Hence typos) So will do a search tonight.
