Did you know that e-cigarettes could soon be banned?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

According to a study conducted by the Institute of Planning and Economic Analysis (IPAG) on e-cigarette sales, more than 100 million disposable e-cigarettes will be sold in Poland in 2023. At the same time, e-cigarettes pose a growing challenge to our environment, according to an article published in the journal The Lancet. The first problem is the generation of a significant amount of plastic, especially in the case of cartridges, which are designed for single use and made of plastics that are difficult to decompose.<\/p>\n

The second problem is electro-waste. Research by Material Focus has shown that in the UK alone, 1.3 million such devices are sent to landfill every week, despite the fact that they should be taken to e-waste collection points. Improper disposal of batteries and other components can lead to fires and environmental pollution.<\/p>\n

Nicotine is also a problem, not only because of addiction, but also because it is considered hazardous waste in some countries. As a result, the plastic containers that hold e-cigarette liquids and cartridges cannot be recycled.<\/p>\n

At the end of January, the British government announced a plan to ban the sale of disposable electronic cigarettes, which will have a positive effect not only on the environment, but also on the health of society as a whole. The Polish Deputy Minister of Health also announced last week that a complete ban on the sale of e-cigarettes is being considered.<\/p>\n
