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

Cities like Brussels, Munich, Dublin, and Genoa have joined the 'No (Plastic) Filter' campaign, supported by The Hague and Dutch authorities, as well as environmental groups. They argue that existing EU regulations on producer responsibility have failed to mitigate pollution from cigarette filters, necessitating a complete ban.
