They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.

    It’s not like the batteries come out all covered in vape juice. And I have zero intent to pick up the habit.

    To be fair, they should treat them like milk jugs back in the day and require a deposit on disposable vapes.
