To be fair, discarding cigarette butts is less wasteful of resources than discarding single-use vapes though, isn’t it? Also aren’t cigarette butts 100% biodegradable and renewable nowadays? Edit: No, they’re not at all, they’re also bad for the environment. Clearly disposable vapes are individually more wasteful though

I do agree that disposable vapes are a horrible idea. But they’re equivalent to a large number of cigarettes so you can’t just say “bigger than a single butt therefore worse”. At least they’re recyclable in theory, if not often in practice.
This is not a defence of disposables. They’re a ridiculous thing, designed for impulse purchasing by children. Fully support a ban.
I didn’t mean they were the same as a single cigarette butt, sorry if I wasn’t clear - it’s just that one of them has a bunch of lithium and electronics as well as plastic, obviously neither is good but the vape is especially egregious imo!
