How about those little fishing sinkers I bite on so they clamp down on the line. I think they’re next.I'm not a fisherman, but I believe lead sinkers are illegal in NH.
I believe the law was signed by one of our recent lib governors (Shaheen), but what's the big deal? Won't a steel sinker sink just as well? Evidently so - folks still fish up here.

Won't a steel sinker sink just as well? Well enough maybe, but not "just as well". Besides, steel rusts, lead doesn't (appreciably anyway, it does some, which why your nice shiny sinkers get dull after a bit of use).

Won't a steel sinker sink just as well? But can you bite down on them?
