Bro don't cherry pick when quoting me, wth. They absolutely harm the environment more than help. Again smokers know the risk when they started smoking. They don't get to mitigate that risk by poisoning the environment with their trapped tar filters that they flick everywhere with out a care for themselves or nonsmokers or the environment.
You're wrong on this one
You want proof that littering is bad for the environment? Really, that's the hill? Lmao.
Yes I make privileged assumptions and stereotypes. As do the healthcare workers and lawmakers when writing policies. Big things like these have to be generalized. I'm sure you understand that tackling smoking, smoking related diseases and policies at the individual level is nearly impossible.
Sorry uneducated smokers in the republic of whatever don't immediately affect me as much as you think they should. But packaging around (the vast majority of) the world has at least some warming on it. And it's WIDELY known that it's a bad idea to smoke.
Not sure why you're so hard about keeping filters around, but smokers anywhere aren't victims. They make the conscious decision to light up every single time and the actual victims are people who don't share their dirty murderous habit.
If you find yourself defending smoking in any way shape or form, you're wrong. Plain and simple.
