When are disposable vapes going to be banned?

I'll see at least 3 discarded on my 5 minute walk to work, never once seen plastic plates/cutlery

Those single use battery banks too. Worst products ever.

He may be joking of the AAA and AA non-rechargeable varieties.

Idk about in the UK, but where I am you can’t buy flavored pods anymore since the public outrage a few years ago got them pulled from shelves. So now your options are either buy tobacco flavored pods (which taste awful) or get disposables which last equally as long as a pack of pods and come in good flavors. The reason disposables are so popular is because they come in good flavors. If good flavors for like juul were allowed again, you would see the popularity of disposables die off greatly and this type of littering to diminish.

But you know it’s all “think of the children” when nicotine already has the same level of restriction that alcohol does and nobody’s saying you shouldn’t be selling pink whitney because it tastes good to children.

When are we going to stop banning tiny things like straws and vapes, and start banning things that ACTUALLY clog up the oceans like fishing nets

Saw three in one day when I was cycling to work. The light to say it was out of vap was still flashing on it

Agree, I'm in the US and walk or bike every day and I always see a tossed vape pen on the street. Can't recall seeing a spoon or fork.

Aren't those mostly made of glass and metal? Seems less harmful than plastic, but I am unfamiliar.

Ahh I was just thinking about the cartridges. I forgot those existed. Yup pretty bad for the environment.

Just as soon as your local nanny state gets off their hunches and makes it happen! I'm sure England will lead the pack!
