Your single anecdote that reusable bags only last a dozen uses is total bullshit, and their use actual decreases the demand and usage of single use plastic bags. Are you too cheap to buy a good one?
Also, there are many reusable shopping bag options that aren't made of plastic.

I don't think you're using your re-usable shopping bags correctly.
I have a grocery store bag made from recycled plastic bottles that I've been using for over 10 years and it's still going strong.

Give the compartment an airtight lid then. My point is that the tobacco companies could be providing a solution to this problem if they were willing to give up some profits, which they won't do unless forced...

Cigarette packs should include a compartment for inserting the butts when you're done with them. Whine all you want about larger packs and/or fewer cigarettes, but it would solve the problem.

It must be nice to have so much free time and disposable income. You obviously don’t have kids

Says who? Please site your evidence that durable re-usable bags are not better for the environment.
So a reusable canvas bag is worse than the environment than single use plastic bags? Right.
So are you one of those people who just can't be bothered to own a reusable bag? The convenience of that sweet single use plastic is just so vital for you?
