Our local cinema removed plastic straws before any ban came in, it was a market led thing thanks to public concern, politicians eventually followed what the market and public already demanded. Difficult to blame them.

I have a bag of 1000 plastic straws, at current consumption that will last me about 200 years.

It was a virtue signalling thing.
