Environment protection in the EU

good:

- replace plastic straws/cups with paper based ones

questionable:

- limit nicotine products to 10ml, so now instead of buying one bottle (200ml for example) of nicotine you have to buy 20 bottles 10ml each - ???

The nicotine bottle size constraint is a safety concern. Spilling a 200ml bottle of nicotine easily has the potential to cause lethality or morbidity through skin absorption, particularly in children. A 10ml bottle can still cause injury, but it is way more likely to be survivable.

In this case, the safety concerns outweigh the environmental concerns.

This belongs at least in "questionable" if not just "bad"
