The sale of disposable vapes is set to be banned under proposals going to Cabinet.
The Minister for Health is expected to get Government approval to draft these laws which will ban the sale, manufacture or import of single-use or disposable vapes in Ireland.
Stephen Donnelly plans to introduce this ban on environmental and public health grounds.
Disposable vapes have to be a thousand times worse than k-cups.
I was floored when one of my coworkers was showing off his vape that played games and stuff and said he went through one a week.
And just about 5 of them have the same capacity as an iPhone battery. Absolutely insane.
Part of why I’m collecting up whatever ones I find to use for my small electronics projects… Even saw someone recently use about 50 or so to make a nice battery bank (was posted here to Lemmy)
I’ve been using them as the overnight batteries for solar powered projects (like wled controlled lights). I’ll be happy to get batteries elsewhere instead and reduce the massive waste.
