Plastic straws, including single-use plastic straws, can prevent aspiration from dysphagia and save our lives by helping to prevent us from choking on liquids and dying of pneumonia. They can also help prevent the well-publicised risks of other plastic straw alternatives which can include being a choking hazard, injury risk, not positionable, costly or not high-temperature safe.
