IMO the most egregious part is that all of these vapes come with perfectly good rechargable lithium batteries at a time where lithium is one of the most important resources.

And they all just go into a landfill without ever being recharged once. It really should be criminal.

I have a (fire resistant) bag full of these batteries.

A hammer, a gentle swing, and some clippers are pretty much all you need to get the batteries out of these disposable vapes.

Guess where that lithium came from in the first place? It's just going back where it came from, in a more processed form, for "storage" until miners get to it in the future.

FWIW a ban came into force this summer in the UK. Rare W. Hopefully the rest of the world follows suit in time.
