Comment on France to ban disposable e-cigarettes, PM says

Cigarette butts are bad, yes. However, these disposable vapes are so much worse though, durable plastics, metal and most of all a lithium battery. All those things combine to make something that’s probably 1000x worse for the environment than a cigarette butt, for each vape disposed of.

And I know people who will go through multiple in a day

Where are you from? The only disposables I’ve been exposed to have been good for ~a week of heavy use

  I’m in the UK, there’s some that seem to end up dead after half a heavy day in a beer garden.
  
  I’ll admit the guy I’m thinking of does blast them like a chimney

    Fair enough, sometimes you get bad ones. I was guilty of using disposables for a little while there and there’d be the odd week where I might have to buy 2 or 3. But it wasn’t frequent. If you’re getting shitfaced and hitting them non-stop (as drunk people do haha) it’s possible to burn the cotton and ruin the flavor too
