New Jersey is hardly the first state to crack down on plastic use. Other states that have implemented partial or full bans against plastic straws include Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Montana, New York, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and Washington, according to Orbitz. Seattle, Washington, was the first major U.S. city to implement a ban against single-use plastic straws in July 2018, per CBS News, and then California became the first state to mandate that full-service restaurants could only give out single-use plastic straws to customers who asked for them, Business Insider reported.
