Long overdue, no idea why it's taken even this long!

Holy shit, after years of throwing away TONS of perfectly usable lithium cells we are finally starting to think that it might not be the brightest of ideas. We sure are on track to save the environment.

About time!! Just had an input from Keep Scotland Beautiful about this very thing and I didn't realise the amount of waste associated with vapes. I thought it was just plastic!!

Nicotine addiction is a huge red flag for me. Signals a scummy person.

No idea why people are so ready to just ban everything they don't like, like this. No drug should be criminalized.

Vaping is plenty legal. Disposable delivery with damaging packaging is now going to be banned is all. Buy the liquid, re-use a vape, no problems here

I agree disposables with batteries to be thrown away is a major waste and damaging to the environment.

As a store owner that sells this things as well as other harmful shit yes they should be banned. They are literally the worst because they take the personal self destruction of smoking/vaping and they literally make it global.
