    The objection is to disposable vapes. That the anti-vaping lobby gets a boost from them is just another reason to hate them if you see vaping as the means to make smoked tobacco obsolete, as I do.

    They’re an environmental nightmare and they are marketed at kids, not just people who are trying to give up smoking. Don’t get me wrong, if kids are going to experiment with nicotine (and some of them inevitably will) then it’s much better they do it with vapes than cigarettes. But that is not a reason to market vapes to children, nor to have batteries discarded several hundred charge cycles before they’re dead, nor to litter the planet with masses of single-use plastic.
