Comment on Call for UK ban on single-use vapes as more than 5m discarded each week

So even aside from the above general issues with disposing lithium, this is particularly wasteful, because people aren’t throwing out their phone battery every other day, for example.

Gotcha. They certainly seem to have become pretty commonplace. Weird thing here is that even though there not meant to be sold here, disposable vapes are certainly the most readily available. If you’re using on with a tank or pods you basically have to order from overseas
