So-called “puff” devices generate habits among young people that can lead to tobacco addiction, she added.
However, the government does not plan to raise taxes on tobacco next year after an increase this year, the prime minister said.

Just ban them for the insane waste they generate. Entire batteries just being tossed in the street. How are these legal anywhere is beyond me
Yup. Canada banned RTAs/RDAs (because 1 child died in the US in 2003 iirc) but allow the garbage dump-filling disposables … then scream bloody murder about how kids are using them.
Well duh. Bring back the rebuildables and few kids will have the money to spend and/or the drive to learn how to build coils, maintain the mod, etc.
Even just refillable tanks or pods. I have a pod based one, they last ages, refill when I need. Battery is rechargeable etc. None of the alleged “risks” of RDAs etc. As reusable as possible rather than this huge waste we have
Please bring this rule everywhere. These things are a public nuisance and horriblly pollutant.
They are built with rechargable lithium battery and go straight to trash ! Verry bad for pollution and garbage fire risk!
So you would rather people smoke cigarettes?
I would rather they use reusable vape batteries you fill with juice.
I’m not allowed to in my country.
Australia? Vote for better politicians.
Tobacco lobbies?
No. I would rather people use mods with RTAs or RDAs, which are rebuildable (the R).
Illegal in my country, cannot access.
At least birds can make fucked up little disease nests with cigarette filters so not complete waste! /s
Someone once told me- I don’t know if it’s true- that opossums and raccoons get hit by cars so often because they get addicted to cigarettes by eating cigarette butts dropped on the side of the road.
That sounds a bit far fetched. I think they get hit because they need to cross the road.
Why is the dichotomy “burn tobacco” / “throw lithium in a landfill”?
Again, I’m not throwing any lithium into a landfill.
The people who used these DISPOSABLE e-cigarettes as directed sure do.
If you already use reusable batteries what do you care if disposable batteries get banned?
I’m not saying the batteries I’m currently using are reusable, I have just made sure nothing has gone to a landfill.
What problem do you have with making sure no one puts the batteries into a landfill?
I actually didn’t know disposable e-cigarettes were a thing? Isn’t the appeal of e-cigarettes that they’re reusable?
Conveinance is a hell of a drug. Just like nicotine.
90% of the people that vape here (netherlands) use disposable ones, i think i’ve seen like 3 people with reusable vapes
To be fair I avoid people so it’s no wonder I’ve not seen any.
All you people saying good can get fucked. Every government across the board has done more in the last 10 years to ban vaping, make it harder to access, take away forms of it, people are forced to buy disposables because that’s literally all they can access. Fuck me I’ll be back smoking in a few years, because I need a fucking escape and they’ll have banned vaping completely because THINK OF THE CHILDERN.
This is extremely good… disposables are horrid for the environment and vape worse than other inexpensive vaporizers with replaceable coils and rechargeable batteries. Disposable vapes should never have existed. They’re pointless.
Hey man, I just gave it up myself this past January with that Allen carr how to stop smoking book. It worked well for me. Maybe you should grab it off library genesis or something. Your overall happiness will increase without spamming that dopamine button multiple times a day.
I spent a good portion of the late 90’s trying to quit cigarettes … tore up cartons of smokes, swore up and down I’d quit, and it never worked. For me it was easier to quit drinking (I had a problem with that too) than to quit smoking. Started vaping in 2015 instead.
Not everyone can quit.
Just saying.
I have 0 want to stop a nicotine addiction, which is why I vape. I’m an adult who can make adult choices, if I wanted to quit I would.

If you’re using a refillable/rechargeable then don’t let anyone tell you any different.
?? We can buy regular vapes in France so this is good
Are you sure throwing away lithium isn’t …god what is that word?
it’s that thing, where something… guAAH tipofmytounge
BAD!
That’s it. Are sure sure throwing away lithium isn’t bad?
I haven’t thrown away any lithium, and lots of people I know are the same are way, looking for a way to get it into the recycling chain.
So what do you care if something you don’t do (and seem to agree is bad) gets banned?
