So-called "puff" devices generate habits among young people that can lead to tobacco addiction, she added.

However, the government does not plan to raise taxes on tobacco next year after an increase this year, the prime minister said.

So you would rather people smoke cigarettes?

I would rather they use reusable vape batteries you fill with juice.

This. Been vaping myself since like, 2012 2013, used refillable this whole time, it's just better tbh. The dispos suck, the flavors are garbage and they cover it up with the koolada or w23 bullshit, not even mentioning the harm to the enviornment and the wasting of lithium for those batteries.

No. I would rather people use mods with RTAs or RDAs, which are rebuildable (the R).

At least birds can make fucked up little disease nests with cigarette filters so not complete waste! /s

Someone once told me- I don't know if it's true- that opossums and raccoons get hit by cars so often because they get addicted to cigarettes by eating cigarette butts dropped on the side of the road.

That sounds a bit far fetched. I think they get hit because they need to cross the road.
