BBC Negative Vape Propaganda continues...

But who is responsible for the enforcement, i can't see it being the retailers or manufacturers. You would think that Vapers who use them would themselves be responsible.

Folk can be fined now for littering. Hit a few folk with mega fines and people will soon get the message.

You may be right, but I'm still not keen on outright bans, and I think there can be a place for disposables if there is enough will to manage disposal correctly.

One area where OTS fines did seem to work, at least in my anecdotal experience is.... dogshit. There has been a lot less of it floating about the streets where I've lived since OTS fines were introduced.

Having widely accessible vape bins where disposables can be disposed off would also be a big step forward IMO. Can't see them going down well in schools though. But people are much more likely to be good citizens if you make it easy for them.

i don’t mind outright bans if they are banning things that are not acceptable. there are loads of things that are already banned. a lot of things are banned that shouldn’t be, and there are things that should be banned that aren’t.

i think the dog shit thing is quite specific and prob a bit different, it changed because somehow it was successful in changing the culture. it became unacceptable to most folk.

i think it’s mainly youngsters, students on a night out and other folk who can’t even be arsed using a plastic bottle to fill up a pod, so it’s probably unlikely.

there are already regs in place for both retailers and manufacturers of electronic waste to make provision for taking waste electronic gash back ..... they just need to be enforced

We already recycle vapes (whatever type), have done for years, and I would find it hard to believe/ I really hope all other vape stores offer that service...

We plan to highlight the importance of recycling lithium batteries (many people don't even seem to know they should be recycled) and are awaiting a new more prominent vape recycling bin.

When the smoking indoors ban came i used to see smokers just walk past a bin and toss their tabs on the floor and stamp on them, that would of taken more effort than actually using the bin, if they do it with Roll Up's i didn't mind as they would soon vanish after a day or 2. The filter tips are much harder to get rid of.

Guns, GBH, torture porn

a lot of things are banned that shouldn’t be

Drugs

there are things that should be banned that aren’t.

My god, where do you begin.... tories, funding police through speed traps, smok, revolving door regulation, cunts in general

I would say it's quite a good likeness. Chucking disposies in the street is about on a par with shitting on somebody's doorstep.
