    Why do I need a solution to recognize a problem? Or are you saying that many addicts is a good thing?

          It came up on the context of nicotine and how much people are addicted, yet i don’t see the uproar of the people who throw their empties into the river or on the road.

            Because people were already aware of the problems there and, just based on comments, many people aren’t even aware that cigarette filters are plastic.

            Do you bring up cigarettes whenever alcoholism is mentioned or is this only a one-way street?

                So it is, in fact, a one-way street. It’s all about smokers.

                  no, im stating that people will demonize smoking which is fair, but when drinking is discussed its “socially acceptable” When are we going to start putting warning labels on alcohol bottles/boxes like we do with cigarettes?

                    Sooner, I am guessing, than you being willing to address the topic of plastic pollution, which is what this is about.
