Genuinely curious how this compares to cigarette waste and litter. Including lighters that go along with them
I suspect cigarettes generated a lot more litter but with a lot less precious metals in it
bic lighters are such a scam honestly, you can refill pretty much any other brand besides bic. should be illegal.
I thought you could refill Bics... huh. Either way, I have a zippo with a butane replacement. Doesn't evaporate and ni wick, so it's easier to maintain.
yeah, a zippo's the one to get. not a smoker myself, but they preach about those things like they're gonna cure lung cancer.
Pretty much everything, except for the cellophane is going to degrade in a year or less. Disposable vapes are all plastic and batteries.
