I don't know if they are banned here, but these are the regulations I would like to see. Complete pollution and unnecessary, then they should just buy a vaper for 30+. But we'd rather ban nuclear power and use coal instead

That the Greens haven't thought of this yet. Oh, I forgot, that's where the tax money comes in.

When I was in a petrol station in Germany, I wondered what the point was of all those one-off e-cigarettes. It must be a whole load of garbage. Vaporizer and battery etc. While I was trying to get the lid off the water bottle, I wondered when the EU would ban these disposable e-cigarettes / vapes?

This is a completely idiotic intervention policy. You shouldn't always make laws to protect the stupid.

However, the UK really does want to make its people healthier in order to relieve the burden on the healthcare system. Germany would rather make its people sicker to ease the burden on the pension system.

Very good 👍🏻 Many people always talk about the problem of waste that may eventually arise with e-car batteries and we throw the disposable lithium batteries in the household waste or on the street 🤡👌
