    Yeah, I’m not one for banning things willy nilly, but disposable vapes need banned. I’d much rather people vape a liquid refilled repairable vape like the kids used when I was young, but even pod type vapes are better. This is just reprehensibly avoidable e waste.

      If you’re familiar with how regulation of the nicotine-industry in the u.s. works then you probably know disposable vapes polluting the streets can be directly connected to the regulation of vape-juice and “e-cigareettes” from a few years back when the fda banned disposable flavored cartridges like menthol.

      no more disposable cartridges now but lots of disposable whole e-smoking devices.

        I ain’t in favor of vice policing. You want to vape, go for it. You’d find a way regardless. But we can make the more environmentally destructive ways to do it the hardest and most expensive.
