Is micro plastic more deadly than tobacco ? My guess would be no .

Some more context :

Smoking is only twice a week.

Chewing gum is 10 a day

    If I’m not wrong there are non-plastic based gums available too, sure they are expensive but if you are concerned about mixeopastics you should comcder that option

    There is no such thing as ‘more deadly’. The adverse effects of smoking to your health are known. The adverse effects of nanoplastics and accompanying compounds are less well known.

    If you are concerned with your health than actually be concerned with your health, stop doing unhealthy shit with any frequency. Eat plantbased, exercise, get yourself checked out at a doctor, do a blood test. You know what a healthy lifestyle looks like. Do that.

    Otherwise do whatever you want. Go crazy.

    Smoking what? Tobacco? Or based on your user name, weed? And if weed, by what method? I’ll assume joints.

    In terms of greatest harm I’d guess

    Tobacco x2 week > Sugar chewing gum> Joints x2 week > non sugar chewing gum.

    If that’s 10 a day sugar-free gum it will destroy your intestines eventually. If it’s sugary it will destroy your teeth. Smoking twice a week is probably even less harm than inhaling cars exhaust on streets everyday.
