A single use disposable is like $4 - $10, depending on how many puffs, and some people just want something they can puff on for the weekend and then quit, not something they can use/reuse long term.
Sure it's not healthy, and it's environmentally irresponsible with current single use disposables, but there's definitely a market of "casual smokers" that don't want to commit to a non-disposable vape.
When it's easier for people to litter, they litter more. I don't care if they want to vape while pretending they're only gonna do it for one weekend.
Sure, I'm just saying there is definitely a market for single-use vapes. I'm not saying it's good or right to buy and use a single-use vape, but people definitely do it.
Really? People smoke for one weekend and then quit? Never ever heard about this. Sure, there are people that smoke sporadically, for example only while partying or something but this is such a minority I doubt anyone would target a product specifically at them. Besides, you can just buy normal vape and buy refills only for one weekend and then 'quit'. $20 non-disposable vape is no commitment, that's my point. And people who can't afford to spend $20 on a vape probably shouldn't be spending their money on smoking anyway. There's tons of policies to discourage people from smoking, banning cheap, single use vapes should be one of them.
