While dentists can’t seem to agree on the benefits of drinking through a straw to prevent cavities (they just want you to stay away from the sugary drinks altogether), there does seem to be a consensus on giving them up for other reasons. Most recently in news, a famous actor declined a straw because it wasn’t recyclable and therefore an ocean pollutant. Less recently, but more widely reported, is getting “smoker’s lips” from drinking from a straw. This “condition” refers to wrinkles around the lips due to excessive use of a straw, or straw-like things such as cigarettes. And, the final reason to give up straws are the connection they have to creating excess air in your digestive track… which has to find its way out somewhere.
