So-called “puff” devices generate habits among young people that can lead to tobacco addiction, she added.
However, the government does not plan to raise taxes on tobacco next year after an increase this year, the prime minister said.
Just ban them for the insane waste they generate. Entire batteries just being tossed in the street. How are these legal anywhere is beyond me
Yup. Canada banned RTAs/RDAs (because 1 child died in the US in 2003 iirc) but allow the garbage dump-filling disposables … then scream bloody murder about how kids are using them.
Well duh. Bring back the rebuildables and few kids will have the money to spend and/or the drive to learn how to build coils, maintain the mod, etc.
Even just refillable tanks or pods. I have a pod based one, they last ages, refill when I need. Battery is rechargeable etc. None of the alleged “risks” of RDAs etc. As reusable as possible rather than this huge waste we have
Please bring this rule everywhere. These things are a public nuisance and horriblly pollutant.
They are built with rechargable lithium battery and go straight to trash ! Verry bad for pollution and garbage fire risk!
So you would rather people smoke cigarettes?
I would rather they use reusable vape batteries you fill with juice.
This. Been vaping myself since like, 2012 2013, used refillable this whole time, it’s just better tbh. The dispos suck, the flavors are garbage and they cover it up with the koolada or w23 bullshit, not even mentioning the harm to the enviornment and the wasting of lithium for those batteries.
I’m not allowed to in my country.
Australia? Vote for better politicians.
Tobacco lobbies?
No. I would rather people use mods with RTAs or RDAs, which are rebuildable (the R).
Illegal in my country, cannot access.
At least birds can make fucked up little disease nests with cigarette filters so not complete waste! /s
Someone once told me- I don’t know if it’s true- that opossums and raccoons get hit by cars so often because they get addicted to cigarettes by eating cigarette butts dropped on the side of the road.
That sounds a bit far fetched. I think they get hit because they need to cross the road.
I actually didn’t know disposable e-cigarettes were a thing? Isn’t the appeal of e-cigarettes that they’re reusable?
Conveinance is a hell of a drug. Just like nicotine.
90% of the people that vape here (netherlands) use disposable ones, i think i’ve seen like 3 people with reusable vapes
To be fair I avoid people so it’s no wonder I’ve not seen any.
All you people saying good can get fucked. Every government across the board has done more in the last 10 years to ban vaping, make it harder to access, take away forms of it, people are forced to buy disposables because that’s literally all they can access. Fuck me I’ll be back smoking in a few years, because I need a fucking escape and they’ll have banned vaping completely because THINK OF THE CHILDERN.
This is extremely good… disposables are horrid for the environment and vape worse than other inexpensive vaporizers with replaceable coils and rechargeable batteries. Disposable vapes should never have existed. They’re pointless.
Tbh, if you can, get an RDA/RTA, a spool of A1 Kanthal, and some juice making supplies. If you can get that nicotine base, they cannot stop you. If not however, that sucks.
Fwiw I agree, bans are no good, but I also hate dispos and think the culture of vaping needs to return to from whence it came: Mods.
?? We can buy regular vapes in France so this is good
