SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BANS FILTER CIGARETTES

By Bob Walsh

 


 
Santa Cruz County (CA) has just banned the sale of filter cigarettes there beginning in 2027.  They assert that the filters are a huge source of toxic litter (almost certainly true) and have very limited health benefit to smokers (very possibly true) so they are trying to cut down on the problem they cause.  

Perhaps tilting at a large windmill, but then again perhaps not.
