    People discard these things on the floor… wtf… what amount of brain cells must you be lacking to think thats fine? How fucking numb must your mind be to not even consider that the vape cant just be chucked to the ground when finished?

    Where i work theres an unofficial smoking area and its littered with single use vapes. Fuck putting them ina bin like the article says people do.

    And wtf 1% flush them down the toilet?

    So many people are just so fucking stupid it destroys all hope i have for humanity.

    I know im being dramatic but it is seriously soul destroying.

    Just stop and think for 1 fucking second.

      I really can understand the frustration.

      Always thought the same about people throwing away their cigarette buds. These are probably the same people.

      Many people are inconsiderate, stupid, apathetic and have ego problems where they believe they are more entitled than others. Add in to the mix a lack of general accountability, and shitty people will prove again and again how shitty they really are. The only way you can stop this is by banning/regulation or an actual functioning justice system. Here, banning is obviously the best idea. But, given how greedy people are and the fact our iteration of capitalism has near no accountability, you can bet such inhumane people running these corps won’t make decisions out of the best interest of others/the environment. It’s just depressing to realise how shit so many people can be.

          Not always, there’s loads of young ones that start on vapes now. I have no gripes with those that use it as a way to reduce their addiction.

        What amount of braincells must they be leaving to vape instead of ingesting over 600 poisonous chemicals by smoking real cigarettes
