Are we ALL going to have lung cancer in 20 years?

So far, no evidence that's it's harmful to human health. Luckily most plastics are inert.
That doesn't mean it's not concerning though.

No evidence because it’s only really become a widespread thing in the last few years. 20 years from now we’ll be able to look at what’s going on and say “yeah this micro-plastics stuff causes cancer”

Are you saying evidence of microplastics or micro plastic in general? I’m sure it’s been around for decades.

Yea, if it causes cancer. As concerned as the next person about microplastics but just because the science would be reactive rather than proactive doesn't automatically mean it's cancerous.
