    I wonder how this will go over the course of the decade globally. I know in the USA several states and cities have made selling these illegal, but you look at those states and cities on their 5 year anniversaries of such laws being created and see that nothing has changed. The convenience stores and smoke shops still sell them.

    I don’t know what the solution is.

      Yeah, that’s what nanny’s are needed for. To make sure kids pick up after themselves and don’t throw their trash on the streets.

    I wish the US would do the same. I have no issue with vapes, but the single use ones are discarded all over the streets. People don’t do that with their reusable ones.

    As a scuba diver who has cleaned up hundreds of these from the sea floor, this is such a good thing.

    Why are they banning it from January and not all of the other months too? Seems like it’s not going to be very effective.

    I usually stop by the liquor store after work and grab two pints of beer. There is always somebody in front of my buying 4-6 of these at $20 each.

    I’m not judging, I just thought getting two pints was eating into my budget. I can’t imagine buying $100 worth of vapes every other week.

    It really is so funny how in the US they banned flavored jule pods because counterfeit THC vapes were killing people which created a market for even MORE wasteful fully disposable nicotine vapes lol.

    Plus the farm bill basically legalizing THC products. Such a legal shit show to trying to control these products lol
