De grandes villes européennes demandent à l’UE d’interdire les filtres des cigarettes

The movement spans multiple capitals and urban centers, demonstrating growing municipal support for stricter tobacco product regulations. Campaign organizers see this as a critical opportunity to reduce plastic pollution while the EU reviews existing legislation.

Cigarette filters, primarily composed of cellulose acetate plastic, take years to decompose and contribute significantly to environmental waste. The proposed ban would target both the entire filter and just the plastic component, depending on the legislative outcome.
