Not a nice picture, so don't click the link unless you really want to see, but it does give you a clear idea why you should cut the rings on those plastic 6-Pack things.

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
my husband is rabid about cutting those things up into a thousand little pieces if we are unlucky enough to have one around.

Good for him - this is clearly the reason why more people should go psycho-crazy over uncut drinks rings like your husband!

If you buy cigarettes in the UK, the cartons are plastered in health warnings these days. I'd love to see warnings imprinted into these plastic rings, I'm sure it would have an impact.

Oh definitely - I mean we have the most ridiculously obvious health warnings on a bunch of stuff, things like warnings reminding you not to iron clothes on your body on boxes of irons - /that/ ridiculous. This is one of the less obvious but still destructive things that I think people should be made aware of...

But do people really pay attention to the warnings? They smoke despite knowing for certain that it is harmful to health. Not sure what the solution is...

You're right, of course. The change needs to happen higher up the chain, so to speak.
What this does show is that there are plent of opportunites for green entrepreneurs to exploit - starting with these plastic rings and replacing them with cardboard ones.

I hate plastic. I'm guilty of using plastic--especially ziploc bags (my downfall). I feel guilty every time I use them but they are SO convenient for portioning snacks for my kids.
