An alternative view on disposables and harm reduction

[zouzounaki]

Well the idea can only work if enough people care enough to do something about it. I know there will be some on here that will care enough as I recall some sending angry emails to suppliers.

Realistically you would start boycotting irresponsible businesses as if you boycotted everyone that sells them you'd severely limit your own options.

boycotting irresponsible paper shops and petrol stations? how do we work out which are irresponsible? if they sell more than two disposables to any person? fair enough, feel free to give it a try.

There's more than local shops being irresponsible. Which one do you think is a more irresponsible seller based off my 2 most recent emails?

Vapestore - Black Friday deal 30 x disposables for £108

Or

Vapeclub - advertised disposables 3 for £12 and then had a sections with a header for disposable alternative devices and another for disposable alternative liquids.

what do you think would happen if you put 100 disposables in your basket at vapeclub and clicked checkout?

Mindblowing, strange that you dont want to address my question. You state a dislike to know the amount being sold yet have no interest in targeted bulk buying promotions for disposables.

i didn’t answer your question because i don’t have an opinion, or enough information to have a view about which company is more or less responsible. so it’s pointless getting drawn into it.

it is pointless trying to make a judgement about this based on marketing emails. how many of these devices does either company sell in a week? is one of them a wholesaler with a warehouse filled with hundreds of thousands of them piled up on the shelves etc etc

my opinion remains that disposables as a thing in themselves are fairly irresponsible. you seem to think so as well to some degree.

Surely you mean some purchasers are using them irresponsibly? I've yet to witness inanimate objects hurl themselves around the place.

no, i mean simply that they exist is irresponsible. nothing to do with users, i’m not sure it’s really possible to use them responsibly.

Are you being intensionally dense or trying vainly to be provocative?

The person doing the littering is responsible for any litter they create and they can be recycled at the local tip or elsewhere as small electrical waste.
