Ive seen a single use vape that has a touch screen on it and you can connect to your phone. What a colossal waste of resources.
I watched a video of Guy who collected a ton of them off the ground and built a USB power bank with them. They were rechargeable li on batteries. It is crazy.
I smoke flavored eliquid. I don't want you to choose what I can and can't do. I'm not a kid and I know the risks.
Come up with some actual improvements instead of pushing everything into the underground. Like actually start to punishing people that sell to kids. Smh
Lower home values would be a popular policy to focus on, instead of trying to moralize while innocent people suffer.
Ban flavored vapes, switch to cigarettes & cigars. 👍
The Government of Canada and Health Canada created this mess all on their own, and here's how it happened ...
On Jan 1, 2021 the feds enacted new vape laws based on Child Resistant packaging. The committee who recommended the restrictions had found a single instance from the early '00s of a US child who had died from consuming vape liquid. From that the committee decided that all vaping products (including juice, RTAs, RTDs, etc) had to be childproof. Now it's pretty easy to make vape juice containers childproof ... but not so easy to make tanks childproof.
Right along side of that are the disposable vapes who were making headway into the market. And ofc they are childproof (concerning the liquid anyway).
It didn't take long for the more expensive mods and tanks to disappear from the market, leaving only the cheap and easily accessable disposables ... which kids can afford and often have access to.
So instead of fixing the current laws the gov't has instead decided to add to them ... leading to restrictions on flavours.
It's interesting that cannabis oil vapes (side note i find these worse in almost every way to a dry herb vape and don't understand the popularity) almost always have disposable tanks attached towith reusable batteries in contrast to nicotine almost always fully disposable.
Holy fuck I hate you nanny staters.
Boy, we're hitting the big issues here, guys
There’s an easy solution here: anyone born after 2007 is hereby banned from purchasing nicotine, period.
Separate laws are intolerable.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
That's an absolute.
And also from a children's movie.
Go fuck yourself. Now. Fucking cunt cheese nanny state wastes of fucking skin.
Kindly find a porto potty, eat everything inside of it, and die in fucking agony. Please.
Deep breaths, in and out. And once you're calmed down, please consider why you want someone to die in agony over watermelon flavored vapor
