Good. These all usually have mixed plastic, glue, paint, metal, microchips, wiring, and a (usually low quality) lithium ion battery (which can in most cases actually be reused.) Not to mention residue of whatever substance was being vaped, little cotton pads, etc, etc.. That is all to say that they’re a recycling and e-waste nightmare.

Great. Time for the EU to follow suit. This is actually one of the few sane things the UK has done since Brexit.

The UK also sells CBD vapes, I wonder how this will change that.<p>I would imagine their wording of whatever they put in place will be broad enough to cover just anything disposable that produces vapour

&gt; Prime Minister Rishi Sunak suggested adult smokers trying to quit would still have access to alternatives like vapes under the proposals<p>How does this work? So I have to talk to a doctor to get my Bubblegum Ice disposable?
