Paper straws are fucking stupid.

Archive: https://archive.today/y6H8C

From the post: Florida could ban controversial paper straws over fears of exposure to cancer-causing forever chemicals. Last month, the state introduced Senate Bill 958 alongside identical house bill HB 2195, which would restrict local bans or limits on the use of plastic straws and instead ban paper straws. Many states, including California, New York and Connecticut, have banned the use of plastic straws in restaurants due to fears of environmental pollution. These states have replaced plastic straws with paper alternatives because they decompose faster and are recyclable, while plastic takes decades to degrade. However, the Sunshine State is now taking aim at the environmentally friendlier straw over toxic chemicals it may contain.
