Why on earth are disposable vapes still legal. It is such an incredible waste. You know that the cohort they are marketed to are not going to dispose them responsibly.
Each one has a rechargeable battery, and most of them end up in landfills.
It is such a waste. Ban them.
- globular-toast 7mo agoThey're not. They've been banned in the UK for a while now. But I think the reusable ones are still cheap enough for people to be careless or just chuck them.
- Ferret7446 7mo agoWelcome to another episode of regulation backfiring. People want disposable vapes, the government bans them, so companies find a way to provide technically rechargeable vapes that are disposable, now it creates even more waste, the customers suffer, the government pats itself on the back for making the world slightly worse. Tune in for the next episode: age verification for computing devices!
- 4gotunameagain 7mo agoA backfiring regulation once in a while is much much better than a corporate dystopia wild west.
- AngryData 7mo agoBecause governments want their sin tax money and refillable vapes don't generate nearly the amount of tax that disposable nicotine products provide.
