How Bad Is Vaping for the Environment?
Disposable vapes pose environmental and health risks due to improper disposal and complex recycling requirements. With millions discarded annually, fires and pollution increase. Most users do not recycle, missing the chance to repurpose valuable materials like lithium batteries. Vapes contribute to global e-waste issues, generating plastic and electronic waste and leaching toxins into the environment. Some vape companies falsely claim eco-friendliness, contributing to the problem. Countries like India, Brazil, and the UK are banning disposable vapes to reduce their impact. More research and awareness are required to address this growing issue effectively.
