they still shouldn't be disposing of the sheath in this manner.
Put forward one good reason why not?
I believe that the plasticisers are toxic and can leach.
If they do, it will be at a very minor level - PVC is one of the more
stable plastics.
It also means that, if the earth is burnt for any reason, the fumes
are seriously toxic.
That could present problems, granted, but the chances of a large
volume/area being burnt is rather low, especially as most of it will
melt and seal in the rest.
That's two. Neither are as ecologically serious as is sometimes made
out, but PVC isn't a nice substance.
Not finely sliced and mixed with your tobacco, granted, but as plastics
go - er - it doesn't go fast enough.
