I think disposable vapes are banned in the U.K. (where I think the author is?) or at least they will be soon. But the non-disposable options end up being cheap enough that they can be disposed of when empty.

I think a better thing to do may be to try to embed disposal costs into the price of the original product. That changes prices to hopefully incentivise reuse.

This is true but as a workaround disposable vapes now all include a charging port but are still treated as disposable (so is just another component to be wasted)

I'm in favour of a full ban but it's complex
