The problem with ecigs is that they are way more polluting than regular cigarettes, due to all the plastic cartridges from the liquid and the batteries in the ecig devices.
So regardless of anything else, it’s good that ecigs are banned as much as possible.
- bjackman 7y agoThis is only a problem with the cheaper Zuul-style units, which use disposable parts with vendor lock-in. Even with those, I'd not automatically believe that they are more polluting than cigarette butts.
- joshanderson 7y agoMost ecigs are the cheaper disposable kind.
- Forbo 7y agoThe vast majority of people I know that vape use refillable tanks. Is there some source you can point to that backs up the "most" claim?
- joshanderson 7y agoYou want to assume whatever is best for the environment. Worst case, if the assumption is wrong, we are preventing more pollution.
