My first Temu order just arrived, and I'm impressed! Ordered on the 4th of March and delivered to my door on the 15th of March. 11 days! It's pretty good for free shipping from China!
I ordered T-shirts and hoodies, expecting them to be in Chinese sizes, and worried that I had ordered a bunch...
No, my point was that we should target not only disposables but also most packaging and products on sale.
And yes a small discount for returning for recycling would be a step in the right direction.
To answer the original question, disposables are way healthier than smoking. And yes, most of them have way too high nicotine levels, but that's what sells and is probably a good place for a smoker to start! Yes, the wastage of resources and waste products is an issue, but so is everything else...
