@Praisethesunson don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Did you know that there used to be a time when cigarettes weren't required to have a filter, they now do in most countries. Why? Because whilst it doesn't eliminate all the nasty stuff being inhaled it does reduce it significantly, ie harm reduction. Nobody likes a goodie two shoes, which is what you are doing here.

 @Praisethesunson don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Do you know why cigarettes are now required to have filters in most countries? I'll give you a hint with two words... harm reduction.

@Praisethesunson got some scientific evidence to support your claim, Mr goodie two shoes?

@Praisethesunson "WHO calls on policy-makers to treat cigarette filters, as what they are, single use plastics, and consider banning cigarette filters to protect public health and the environment." This is your supporting evidence that cigarette filters offer absolutely zero health benefits or reduction in harm? To be clear, cigarette filters by no means eliminate the risks or impacts from smoking cigarettes - just as vapes don't. It's harm reduction, not harm elimination. I'm no advocate for tobacco, just as i'm no advocate for firearms.. but banning vapes whilst still allowing cigarettes is like banning handguns whilst still allowing rifles.

@Praisethesunson i did exactly as suggested and it appears WHO, without any scientific evidence or supporting sources, assert there is no evidence of harm reduction are purely worried about the environmental impacts of the plastics. The thing is, there is scientific evidence for the benefits of filters. Just Google cigarette filters and Wikipedia. Oh the irony of thinking you're above propaganda and referencing the World Health Organization, thanks for the laugh 😂
