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.

They'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.

		Welcome 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!

the words "Appearing to" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this tabloid article

Soon he'll have to join the productive workforce so that he can afford cartridges. We might also observe a new wave of crimes from squirrels so that they can afford this new vice.

Vapes are possibly the worst things invented since cigarettes.

I knew a guy who had a dog that ate cigarette butts.
