However, the regulation has caused some problems. On the internet, people in Hong Kong have shared pictures of paper spoons that get soft before they finish drinking their soup, especially when the soup is hot. Someone says, "In the past, plastic covers for umbrellas were given out when people walked into a mall on rainy days. But now they aren't available. Rainwater drops from umbrellas, increasing the chance of people falling down."

It means they have to bring their own toothbrushes. Many travellers aren't aware of this beforehand, so they feel inconvenient having to buy or bring their own toothbrushes.
"To protect the environment and public health, we need to cut down the use of plastics step by step," said an officer, explaining the reason for the regulation. "Even small changes in daily choices can come together to guard the planet we share for years to come."
Carrying out this regulation certainly has a lot of difficulty. To help, the government has set the first six months after the introduction of the regulation as an "adaptation period(适应期)”，during which restaurants and stores are taught how to follow the rule correctly.After that, they might be punished if they are against the regulation.
