  1. Oh Juannnnnnn... my answer is we have to decide to handle cigarettes. For example, make a low like a Singapore and increase price.

  2. Blog looks aweeeeeesomeeeeee!

    Opinion: I think getting rid of cigarettes is not the issue here. For me, I believe raising awareness for health is more important so smokers can make up their minds whether they should quit or not. We could increase the fines for littering cigarette butts! Maybe that will force people to put them in the bin... this is what I wrote on Hiro's blog but I kind of misunderstood the question! I'm not a scientist nor a researcher so it's difficult to say how we could reduce the harm when decomposing cigarettes.

    Grammar: A lot of people are littering cigarettes everywhere and finally those are coming on the ocean = A lot of people have been and are still littering cigarettes everywhere and consequently, they are appearing in the ocean.

  3. Great work! Very good explanation!

    In my opinion we need to increase the campaigns against cigarettes, showing how bad he is.
    Restrict his market and put more tax on them it is a good idea too. But the consume will not end. We should change the materials of cigarettes to let be biodegrade into the environment.


    I don't have grammar points! :)))
