France to ban disposable e-cigarettes, PM says

  I use a geekvape b60.

  It’s the easiest, most bulletproof, consistent, and trouble free vape I have ever owned and I’ve been at this for 15 years.

  Disposables are absolute garbage, some are shit out of the box and some shops don’t even allow returns, not to mention the waste of a dead lithium cell, a plastic case, leftover juice, wicking just tossed in a gutter.

  My waste is one tiny metal coil, once every two weeks because yes, they last that damn long.

  BUT

  Convenience is convenience, fuck the planet, right, average consumer?

  The disposables are a product of bans in the first place.

  “No flavored pods allowed to be sold”

  So they just put them in disposables where the whole battery gets chucked. At least when all the kids used Juul they reused the fucking battery.

  The solution was to ban the sale of any and all vaporizers at gas stations. Outside of head shops/vape shops. Places they card everyone. Im certain there aren’t any highschool kids trying to buy box mods and tanks at a head shop without being carded but now I can’t get flavored juice anymore either because the lawmakers understanding of the situation is so inept. So disposables

    I have never been carded a single time in my life when buying cigarettes in France. Nor have I when buying shit from vape shops.

      I swear I get carded more in my mid thirties for alcohol than I did when I turned 21. (USA)

  What about the whole disposable cigarettes that are fucking litter all over the city?

    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

    Yeah, the ecig 'crisis' is a massive diversion from the money making tobacco industry. Not banning those, hm, can't think why...
