Seems like cotton filters could be the solution to this? People are addicted and won’t just give up a vice, but if pressure could be put to switch to non plastic filters in the industry that seems like a good step.
I get it, smoking is bad. The world is slowly transiting away from it. But this right here is the most common sense approach. This is a manufacturing issue. Even if cotton weren’t suitable for whatever reason, there’s got to be another alternative. Stopping people from smoking is a separate issue that will take years to accomplish, and various approaches could be used to make progress there. In the meantime, let’s just not make them from plastic.
