As cigarettes are phased out, parents say new laws do little to address rampant vaping by young people.

    Because alcohol is generally well regulated, and even regular flavoured vapes are poorly regulated.

        Doesn’t the article only mention the banning of disposable vapes? Did you know there is enough lithium in all the disposable vapes used in a year, to make 1200 electric car batteries. Per year. In the UK alone.

          Great, but that’s not why they were banned. I was talking about the US though, where a great many jurisdictions are totally banning vapes, or banning all flavored vape juice, due to this hysteria.

      Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

      Teens can unwittingly purchase altnoid vapes from gas stations, smoke shops, instagram, and more.

      Buying boof vapes poise a much higher risk than other fake “marijuanas”.

      To anyone dabbling in that lifestyle, it is not worth it. Only trust legal dispensaries. On the black/grey markets, you could be inhaling heavy metals, solvents, toxins, and other things you shouldn’t be vaporizing into your lungs.

      You only get one pair of lungs, take care of them, lung damage is permanent. Vaping unregulated oils can risk things such as, chest pain, chemical burns, diminished breathing, headaches, lipoid pneumonia, collapsed lung.

      It is possible to buy both fake packaging, and prefilled vapes in fake packaging from China.

      If that’s not an option, look into making your own distillate. It’s cheaper and cleaner, it tastes better, and you don’t support terrible practices.
