California lawmakers are proposing a ban on disposable vape sales by 2026 to reduce plastic pollution. The bill aims to address environmental and health concerns linked to single-use vapes, which contain harmful chemicals. Similar bans have been considered in other countries. Local businesses are concerned about the impact on sales and potential smuggling activities. The state has previously implemented regulations on vape sales, especially targeting youth. Advocates stress the health hazards and environmental damage caused by these products. The bill faces opposition but is viewed as a positive step towards addressing the risks associated with disposable vapes.
