I think banning the easily accessible and wasteful disposible ones is the way to go, as many European countries are doing...

Any child care spend lunch/pocket money on a cheap disposible vape, but refillable ones cost a bit more and are way better for the environment...

Agreed. Not only are they awful for the environment and easier to use for any kids who get a hold of them due to lax enforcement of the laws banning them for minors, they're also of worse quality and less customizable and thus less likely to fill the specific needs of adults using them for their intended purpose.

And, as I hinted at in the first paragraph, much more effective tools for smoking. Especially the ones with variable watta, temperature control and other settings to make them feel juuust right to better replace regular cigarettes for adults trying to quit.

First time I tried quitting by vaping, it was with cheap disposables (which were actually the only ones available back then. Good thing the technology has come a long way since then) and they didn't satisfy my cravings AT ALL, making them pretty much useless.
