Batteries in a disposable lip gloss dispenser
(feddit.it)
And the label doesn't say anything about it, doesn't have the "don't throw in the trash" logo.
Those LEDs are glued in, there's no way to remove batteries before discarding the item
There are so many sensible reasons to regulate these vapes and yet they go for protect the children.
How does banning disposable vapes which costs almost the same as cartridges for a non disposable vape help at all at protecting kids who would probably already stand out in the adult-oriented stores these are sold.
There needs to be proper quality control on these things with a set of ground rules for recycling and safe use. What does it matter if the user is 18 or 21?
They do it because "protect the children" is an easy sale, everyone falls in line because nobody wants to be against something "for the children". Also the reason why the horse gets beaten over every internet censorship attempt.
"protect the children" is an easy sale until you want to actually do something to fix the leading causes of child deaths, like say road injuries..
Totally agree, first thing I did when reading that was facepalm - not a good rhetoric at all.
