Disposable vapes to be banned

The issue is the vape companies very obviously market to children, with all the colourful packaging, cheap pricetag and flavours along the lines of "Candy floss" and "Blue Razz Lemonade", there's an epidemic of young children vaping in the UK. Banning these are the only way to stop this.

With a refillable one you can put in as much nicotine as you'd like... The difference is also that in the refillable ones traditionally used regular nicotine, whilst the disposables ones use salt nic. (You can also get salt nic for your regular stuff, but they generally don't instantly offer it).
The difference being that you don't really feel salt nic, except for the light headedness if you're not used to it.
Another issue with the disposables is that nicotine and the juice usually separate after a while. That's why the disposables feel very strong at the start or the end. But overall, at least where I live, it's regulated to max 2% nic for disposables.
It sounds like the parents need spoken to instead of banning shit. People are gonna get what they want even if it's banned. Very common example drugs are banned still be used to an insane amount.

I have no problem with people vaping or smoking, I actually enjoy the smell of cigarettes 
but people can't dispose of their waste properly and I suppose that's the whole reason they're getting rid of them
wherever i drive i always see discarded vapes on the road, and it's depressing that all that technology is mass produced and thrown away within the span of a week.
Throwing cigarettes or vapes on the floor is disgusting, but at least if you throw a fag in the bin it's not costing much
also i wish they'd ban marijuana it arguably smells 100x worse than vanilla frappe soya flavoured vapes

Step foot in any residential area in the U.K. and you’ll see teenagers sparking up cigarettes en masse, cigarette to vape ratio of smoking kids is 10 to 1. Kids are all rolling their own here. Nothing is done of course, as most the tobacco they’re acquiring is that European smuggled / fake shit made from smuggled tobacco mixed with tobacco that isn’t intended for smoking and is instead intended for pesticide manufacturing. The governments only response to this was to ban menthol filters, which cut down youth smoking by a whopping 0%.
Theres also nothing legally stopping a teen from possessing tobacco, law only applies to sales. Schools are expected to enforce underage smoking by confiscating tobacco products from students however none of them are doing this.

I feel like you miss the whole point of the article and the situation in the UK, which is understandable since you're not from the UK.
As Efan said, vapes are getting into the hands of children as young as 12 which is causing much more serious harm at a much more serious rate than any other age group. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-67081855
This girl who started vaping at the age of 9 now only has 1 working lung.
