      Oh no, don’t get me wrong - I’m very much against banning things in general. You should be able to buy plastic straws, disposable vapes, cocaine and a machine gun at your local 7-11.

      I’m just surprised that this isn’t something that they haven’t banned yet, despite being a pretty big issue.

        What if they just put a deposit on them like we do with cans to promote recycling.

        I’m not in favor of banning things, but depending how it is structured I could support structured discouraging.

          Deposit systems can only do so much. We have a new plastic bottle deposit system here in the Netherlands, with about a 70 percent return rate. And you can return bottles at every supermarket.

          I don’t think that would work with disposablevapes. Not unless you have really high deposits and strict sales policies. A lot of this stuff also gets imported from China, so that makes it quite impossible to collect deposits on them.
