All you've done here is prove that you're ignorant. I suggest you look back and see that you're arguing two different points with two different people as well as attributing words to me that I didn't write.

If you actually read my post, l already answered the difference. Everything you mentioned has widespread environmental impact, particularly if people/corporations use those materials in bad faith. Personal choice to smoke a cigarette is not equivalent to implanting a hazardous object into the environment. And I think you know that. If you honestly can't see the difference, it's willful ignorance.
