It's goodbye to disposable vapes for former fans like me, not a moment too soon | Hannah Ewens
Briefly

"There's a certain combination of hedonism and delusion that the disposable vape smoker knows well. You don't vape, not really, and you could quit anytime you'd like. You're only vaping because it's a fun little indulgence, a treat."
"I quickly reached a point of going through at least one disposable vape a day. For someone who's never had a vape phase, that might sound like the equivalent of smoking a single cigarette a day. But it's not the same at all: a disposable vape can pack as much nicotine as one or two packets of cigarettes."
"Now, it's been announced that single-use vapes will be banned in England and Wales next summer. It's a smart pro-active move by the Labour government. The official reasoning points to curbing youth use and reducing environmental harm."
"According to Defra, nearly 5m single-use vapes were thrown away every week last year, often ending up in landfills. The image is bleak, unnecessary and inescapably grim."
