“Supporters of the bill point to the damage that such products do to both human health and to the environment”

But doing drugs and crapping openly on the sidewalks is ok

On the one hand, California is suicidal stupid.

On the other hand, with all the technology and new materials we have, certainly a biodegradable cigarette filter is not beyond our grasp?

Disclaimer: I dont smoke, dont enjoy being around a smoke filled environment, but respect a persons right to make their own choices.

Crapping openly on the sidewalk is The Green Way to go.

Nary a thought paid to the tonage of trash generated by vagrants who seem to have immunity to these laws. “Look at all the trash those bums left, let’s pass a law targeting the general public.” And like all the other stuff California has outlawed, people will simply get them on a black market or from out of state. Idiots.

Bummer. Not everyone has the panache to pull off a cigarette holder.

“cigarette butts accounting for nearly a third of the trash picked up by volunteers during the annual Coastal Cleanup Day. “

Coudl be true

After all, they don’t pick up the needles and feces all over the place.

Stupid leftists once again not understanding that single use items are purposely created to prevent disease spread.

This government is out of control and needs to be put down.

I wish they would stop tinkering with my Marlboro Menthol Extra Lights. Just stop. I don’t need no doctor!

About five years ago, there was great ‘outrage’ expressed on the topic of disposable plastic staws. The same environmentalists wanted to snatch our plastic shopping bags away. Now, I hear nothing about the evils of plastic disposable straws or the dire threats of using plastic shopping bags.

I have always wondered if bans on outdoor smoking had less to do with health concerns and more to do with butts everywhere. I am not for bans such as this, but I understand why someone might want to have them.

Look at the bright side, the smokers get more of that tar coating on their lungs to protect themselves from the Covid!
