This article notes that this is a "drop in the bucket" when compared to the totality of plastic waste. What a short sighted view! Nicotine itself has adverse effects on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the waste of so many batteries (see: rare earth metals) may be even worse.
Not to mention that in my experience disposables bring an alluring noncommittal feeling that could make it harder to quit or easier to start an addiction.
Seems like a great ban!!!
