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.

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!

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.

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.

Tbh, if you can, get an RDA/RTA, a spool of A1 Kanthal, and some juice making supplies. If you can get that nicotine base, they cannot stop you. If not however, that sucks.

Fwiw I agree, bans are no good, but I also hate dispos and think the culture of vaping needs to return to from whence it came: Mods.

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.

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.
