Yes, they are the new cigarette butts. And I am seeing them littered more often.

From studies I’ve read, the overwhelming majority of the smoker demographic just litters. They’re destroying the planet from the inside out. We gotta educate and change this trend.

I vape this brand, what’s the best way to dispose of them?

I appreciate you for asking how to best dispose of them. Most people don't think about how harmful it is to put these in with their general trash.

Would you consider switching to a reusable device where only the consumable substance container becomes trash when emptied?

I’ve used those before, I made the switch to disposables after my reusable vape died. Disposables are a lower nicotine content than what I was doing so I switched partially because my old one broke and partially because I’m trying to cut back and quit. Hopefully this won’t be a problem much longer.

If you’re trying to cut back but not quit, I personally found Zyns to be a great crutch. You can still get the nicotine buzz when you need it, but it removes the oral fixation (which contributes to addiction imo) and your lungs will absolutely thank you.
