We find some many different to keep polluting our work even though we know we should stop

Phew, thank God. People I don't know won't be able to do what they want with a vape.

Now, back to living my affordable house, oh, once I get some of that cheap petrol for my car.

What about February?

Would be fine if they didn't also ban nicotine importing. So the only option is to pay $60 for a pack of cigarettes.

Fuck the government, they don't give a shit about us they are just mad they aren't getting money from it, and their cigarette buddies are losing profits

2500mah rechargeable battery - 10 bucks. .6 OHM coils, pack of 5 that lasts 5 months, 25 bucks. Bottle of 120 ml menthol 3mg joice? 50 bucks. Cost on a daily basis? 2.80 a day. A single beer costs as much as that, I bought a nic salt "bar" and it lasted 2 days. A bottle of 120ml 3mg juice lasts 2 weeks, a disposable lasts 2 days.

Can that happen in the EU too, please?

I know vaping has been a thing for a long time now, here in the UK several years back I used to see the occasional person vaping with what looked like a vape they made and put liquid in, no rubbish anywhere around where I live.

Now these past few years, I see hundreds of people vaping with disposables, kids & adults the whole spectrum, along with that all of them thrown on the ground, packets for the vapes everywhere as well. The more placing banning them the better honestly. Hopefully lowers the disgusting smelling clouds that get practically blown in your face as well.

I usually stop by the liquor store after work and grab two pints of beer. There is always somebody in front of my buying 4-6 of these at $20 each.

I’m not judging, I just thought getting two pints was eating into my budget. I can’t imagine buying $100 worth of vapes every other week.

bro the entire world is addicted to nicotine...

[–] do_you_know_de_whey@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It really is so funny how in the US they banned flavored jule pods because counterfeit THC vapes were killing people which created a market for even MORE wasteful fully disposable nicotine vapes lol.

Plus the farm bill basically legalizing THC products. Such a legal shit show to trying to control these products lol

I work with a massive importer of disposable vapes to the UK. I mentioned this to him asking if he’s concerned, he said that no one’s bothered because the Chinese (who he imports them from) will just add a usb socket to them, therefore making them ‘rechargeable’ even though you can’t refill them and circumvent the law.

More waste produced, the cost will get passed on to the customer and they’ll still sell a bucketload of them.

I used to cringe when I’d see cigarette butts in the sand at the beach….now there’s just as many dead vapes. Fuckin earth is an ewasteland now.

Lets goooooooooo!!!

[–] Und3adShr3d@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

These things are fucking everywhere. Vapes are thrown all over the streets by cloud chasing tossers.

[–] meeplewirp@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I wonder how this will go over the course of the decade globally. I know in the USA several states and cities have made selling these illegal, but you look at those states and cities on their 5 year anniversaries of such laws being created and see that nothing has changed. The convenience stores and smoke shops still sell them.

I don’t know what the solution is.
