Tobacco and Vapes BillContribution
Some large companies have already demonstrated that it is easy to make the switch in production required to accommodate such a change in the law. Biodegradable filters already exist. It has been six years since McDonald’s made a decision to switch to paper straws, for example, but biodegradable filters, unlike paper straws, work and make no discernible difference to the user experience. That explains why polling suggests that this measure is supported by 86% of UK adults.
