> It's the exact opposite. Tobacco is so heavily regulated and taxed that these become profitable.

It's not the opposite at all. Tobacco should disappear just as well.

Juul was very popular and less wasteful (although not perfect of course) as you disposed of the liquid pod rather than the whole device, they were regulated out of existence though. The regulations had loophole/oversight which paved the way for the disposable vape era.

And we have people in the comment section saying we need more regulations.

		There are many examples of good and bad regulations, I don't think you can just point at this one and say "see, regulation bad." They were too narrowly focused on cartridge based systems because that's what high school kids were hooked on. Technically the disposables need FDA approval I think, many just don't have it. Manufacturers, importers, and retailers just don't care. There's a buck to be made and the spice must flow.
