What about the whole disposable cigarettes that are fucking litter all over the city? Or the disposable cigarette industry responsible for probably millions of deaths at this point.
Cigarette butts are bad, yes. However, these disposable vapes are so much worse though: durable plastics, metal and most of all a lithium battery. All those things combine to make something that’s probably 1000x worse for the environment than a cigarette butt, for each vape disposed of.
And I know people who will go through multiple in a day
Fair enough, sometimes you get bad ones. I was guilty of using disposables for a little while there and there’d be the odd week where I might have to buy 2 or 3. But it wasn’t frequent. If you’re getting shitfaced and hitting them non-stop (as drunk people do haha) it’s possible to burn the cotton and ruin the flavor too

Yeah, the ecig ‘crisis’ is a massive diversion from the money making tobacco industry. Not banning those, hm, can’t think why…
Edit - I do know that the tobacco industry owns a lot of the disposable ecigs as well

Where are you from? The only disposables I’ve been exposed to have been good for ~a week of heavy use. Genuinely curious
I’m in the UK, there’s some that seem to end up dead after half a heavy day in a beer garden.
I’ll admit the guy I’m thinking of does blast them like a chimney

Ban those too.
