RE: In an effort to save the declining bees, EU has now banned the most used type of insecticide from all outdoor use!

in #nature7 years ago

It's not the nicotine that is actually used for the insecticide, it's just a closely related chemical that functions in the same way. I'm sure there are a lot of issues with the environmental effects from smoking cigarettes, such as plastic waste, but I'm not sure insects dying directly from the smoking is such a problem.
