The fault lies with vape manufacturers. It’s big tobacco. They are soulless ghouls.

Surprisingly, Big Tobacco does not really likes vapes because it's not them, and eats in their profit margin. If any, they lobby against vapes and specifically disposable vapes.

That hasn’t been true here in New Zealand. Although the nuance around what counts as a vape may be where this is happening.

YMMV, but it's been the case in France. They were behind the ban on disposable non rechargeable vapes, because kids bought them as a candy. They'd prefer they buy actual cigarettes.
