Exactly.

Good thing is when you get one of those black market vapes there could be all kinds of interesting stuff in the tank. Oh wait - that's not really a good thing is it?

"The government wants to eliminate disposables (which it calls “single-use” vapes) largely for environmental reasons. According to a widely cited 2023 study by non-profit group Material Focus, 30 million disposable vapes are bought monthly by British adults, and only 17 percent of users report recycling them."

How selfish.

Good riddance. I've always disliked the idea of disposing of a rechargeable battery after one use.... Although i strongly suspect the UK government are bowing to the 'save the children' rhetoric rather than worrying about the environment.
Still, all will be well when they introduce the vape liquid tax next year. Again, for the sake of the children
