"A pair of reading glasses and a good book should go along with a dollar and a dream" wsj- worlds most littered item- cigarette filters made of plastic can get into our waterways and become toxic to fish.- cellulose acetate- 65% of cigarettes are littered- why do people flick their buts because inquiring psychologists are trying to figure it out- habits are hard to break- 7,000 chemicals in cigarettes- buts were made of plastic because it was supposed to be healthier-
After they found out it was bad for you- filters are the biggest source of litter worldwide- Supposedly 14% of smokers don't consider buts as litter- If it is not litter then what is it? I am just curious to know if big tobacco didn't know that cigarette smoking was linked to lung cancer before 1950- Why did it take so long to place warning labels on the cartons? Bernays had a glamorous marketing campaign and Bette Davis eyes created more smokers I suppose.
It appears that both big tobacco and opiate distributors had a very similar marketing strategy. If chronic pain patients need their meds it seems plausible that Purdue Pharma still misrepresented the potential addictive nature of this drug.
