    Banning single use vapes is a good idea. There is no counterargument to this. They dont fill a gap in the market as reusable and refillable vapes already exist and work better. They produce a ridiculous amount of waste. That waste is terrible for the environment. People can’t be trusted to be responsible enough to dispose of them in a safe way.

    Dont try to conflate this proposed ban with something else you are pissed about.

        The post is about banning single use vapes. You commented that the “uk is just banning everything now” so you are saying that the banning pf aingle use vapes is linked to the banning of all these other things.

        So my defending of the single use vape ban is to show that it is in no way linked to any other bans apparently taking place in the uk. So your suggestion that the uk “just bans things” is not relevant and unsubstantiated.
