Europäische Städte fordern ein EU-weites Verbot von Zigarettenfiltern

Major European cities are urging the EU to ban cigarette filters made of plastic, citing their lack of health benefits and significant contribution to urban waste. Cities like Brussels, Munich, Dublin, and Genoa have joined the 'No (Plastic) Filter' campaign, supported by the Dutch government and local authorities. They argue that existing EU regulations on extended producer responsibility have failed to reduce pollution from cigarette filters, necessitating a complete ban.
