Bad for health

They are many smokers and coffee drinkers in this project no matter which country they are from. Thus they like to go to the Starbucks at the next street to buy coffee at the same time steal a smoke. Today only left one senior as most were off site, thus I have decided to accompany him to get his Starbucks and shorten my life inhaling 2nd hand smoke on the way. When he is preping his starbucks, pouring milk and sugar, I handed him the straw so that he can stir the drink. Later he threw away the straw. A bit preplexed as I usually saw them drinking from the straw later on, I asked why he threw it away.

He said," It's plastic, bad for health."

Me: of all reasons....
