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.
