Cigarette filters are the most littered plastic on Earth — toxic, non-essential, single-use plastics. Youth worldwide are calling on #INC52 negotiators: Ban all cigarette filters once and for all.   #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #FiltersAreToxic #ExcludeBigTobacco

Polluters can’t be a part of the solution. Tobacco’s toxic plastics are damaging the environment, which the youth will inherit. #ExcludeBigTobacc from #PlasticsTreaty negotiations in line with the WHO FCTC Article 5.3. #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #FiltersAreToxic

This #InternationalYouthDay, our message is loud and clear: protect our environment from tobacco’s toxic plastics. Ban all forms of cigarette filters, toxic, single-use plastics. They’ve polluted our planet for decades. But it must stop now! #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty

Cigarette filters don’t protect health, they create a false sense of safety while polluting the planet. Youth demand honest action: Ban filters. Stop the lies. #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #ExcludeBigTobacco #FiltersAreToxic

Intergenerational responsibility matters. We won't inherit a planet ruined by Big Tobacco’s lies and toxic plastics. Align global plastics policy with the WHO FCTC & safeguard our present & future! #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #ExcludeBigTobacco #FiltersAreToxic #SATFYF

Trillions of cigarette filters are dumped into the environment every year, polluting our oceans, rivers, and ecosystems. Governments must act now to ban all filters and hold the tobacco industry accountable. #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #FiltersAreToxic #ExcludeBigTobacco

Policy discussions should include youth voices. We deserve a seat at the table, not the polluter themselves - the Big Tobacco. Let us speak, not just inherit the damage. #BanALLFilters #UNPlasticsTreaty #ExcludeTobacco #FiltersAreToxic

If we don’t exclude Big Tobacco, we invite manipulation. Governments must uphold public interest, not profit-driven narratives. WHO FCTC Article 5.3 safeguards against this manipulation.   #BanALLFilters  #UNPlasticsTreaty #ExcludeBigTobacco #FiltersAreToxic

Intergenerational responsibility matters. We won’t inherit a planet ruined by Big Tobacco’s lies and toxic plastics. We want justice now! Policies must take into account WHO FCTC to safeguard our present and future! #BanALLFilters #ExcludeBigTobacco #FiltersAreToxic
