They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

    Do you recycle condoms you find on the ground too? Vapes are probably the most disgusting thing recently invented.

      It’s not like the batteries come out all covered in vape juice. And I have zero intent to pick up the habit.

      To be fair, they should treat them like milk jugs back in the day and require a deposit on disposable vapes.
