I’d be happy if they flatly banned single use vaping devices.

The ban on replaceable flavored pod vapes caused that. Such a bizarre rule and so wasteful. You couldn’t replace the battery on the pod vapes but at least you could reuse the recharge and reuse the battery.

  I didn’t know what caused it, but I see a ton of smashed vapes littered about. It’s basically the only e-waste I see on the street.

  But there are rechargeable vapes available on the market right?

  Australia has gotten close. Vapes are now banned without a prescription and they can not include flavours.

    Huh interesting. What caused that? I can see the concerns about teens vaping but an outright ban seems pretty authoritarian. Admittedly I don't know much about Australia so maybe they're more authoritarian than the stereotypes might imply.

      The Australian government has been phasing out smoking entirely for a while now. Vapes came in and undid most of that effort as well as getting a new generation of kids on it. So now they are regulated to only be allowed as an aide to get off cigarettes.

      Mostly due to imports of disposable "nicotine free" vapes that of course contained nicotine. Banning them outright makes customs easy as otherwise you would have to test every import for nicotine levels. There's zero benefit to society to import any disposable vape variant, so the ban is pretty well received.

  I'm curious if you're consistent on this and think cigarettes/marijuana/crack should all be/remain banned?
