I mean this is specifically about disposable vapes, which never should have become a thing. They're possibly the most wasteful disposable item we've ever come up with.

It does seem like loads of kids vape these days, and rather openly as well.

Disposable vapes should be banned because of the waste, and they should do the blank packaging approach for vapes/vape juice.

Just because it’s better than smoking doesn’t mean it’s good, and nobody really knows the long term health effects.

They talked about vaping as a concept. Like an RTA tank attached to a box mod. These single use vapes ruined the good rep of ecigs

Not much considering they've basically dipped toes into vaping rather than entire legs.

Most of the vaping industry is independent companies removed from the likes of the usual tobacco figureheads and single-use Vuse and Juul vapes(their brands) were fizzled out years ago.

PM and RJR do have their noses invested in some of those smaller companies, even Altria owned a chunk of Avail Vapor before they went to shit in the late 2010's.

but their investors tend to be more cautious than the "black market" or smaller vape industry of juice bottles, single-use vapes and box mods, and they don't touch Delta 8/10 vapes with a 39.5' pole.

Vaping may be a good alternative for a smoker. Some people find them a useful aid in quitting as it's easier to slowly reduce nicotine content.

It's is not contradictory to say vapes are bad. They can be better than cigarettes, but this doesn't make them good.

Vapes are highly palatable. This reduces a barrier to developing a nicotine addiction. So there genuine concern when it comes to young people developing nicotine addictions.

However, the motivation for this ban is due to the waste produced by disposable vapes. The early vapes were reusable so this wasn't an issue. These disposable vapes are responsible for alot of lithium batteries being irresponsibility disposed in the streets.
