ʻO kekahi o nā kumu kaulana loa i hāʻawi ʻia e nā mea hoʻolaha huahana vaping hoʻokuʻu no ke kākoʻo ʻana i kēia mau huahana ʻo ia ka lilo ʻana o nā kīkeke i mea pōʻino no ke kaiapuni. Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi haʻawina Keep Britain Tidy he 68% o nā ʻōpala a pau i hōʻiliʻili ʻia ma ʻEnelani. ʻO kēia ka mea i hoʻonui nui ʻia i ka ʻāina.
Hana ʻia nā ʻōpala cigarette mai nā mea palaka ʻaʻole hiki ke biodegradable. Eia kekahi, hoʻohana hoʻokahi lākou a pau. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ʻo ka hapa nui o kēia mau ʻōpala e loaʻa i ko lākou ala i loko o nā ʻāpana ʻāina, nā lua compost a me nā kula ākea kahi e hoʻolei mau ai lākou i nā kemika ʻona i loko o ka wai lepo a me nā ʻāina a puni. Hiki i kēia ke pili i nā mea kanu a me nā holoholona.
No ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i kēia pilikia, ua hana ka hapa nui o nā aupuni e hōʻemi i ka smocking. Eia nō naʻe, manaʻo nui ka poʻe i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana vaping i mea e kōkua ai i ka poʻe e haʻalele. Ma ʻEnelani, ua hana ka Khan Review i kēia ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.
ʻO ka pilikia, hiki mai kēia manaʻo i ka manawa e piʻi ai ke kūʻai aku nā vape hoʻopau. Wahi a nā noiʻi a NielsenIQ, Pā Elf, hoohana hookahi brand e-cigarette kūʻai aku ʻo 25 miliona mau ʻāpana i ka makahiki i hala e lilo i mea kūʻai nui loa i ka huahana e-cigarette ma UK. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā mea hoʻohana hou e like me Cirro, Logic a me Vype i kahi hāʻule o ke kūʻai aku ʻoiai makemake nā mea kūʻai aku i nā huahana hoʻohana hoʻokahi.
According to Ryan Milburn, the NielsenIQ analyst, “Consumers have dropped these brands, moving into disposable options,”. A study by the ASH found that the use of disposable vapes has grown to over 52% in 2022 from about 7% in 2020. This shift in consumer preference is becoming a problem.
The Bureau of investigative journalism conducted a joint investigation with Material Focus and found that every week more than half of disposable vapes bought get thrown away. This means that 1.3 million nā vape hoʻopau are thrown away. This gets more plastic products in places they should not be.
ʻO ka pilikia nui me ka hoʻohana nā vape hoʻopau is that many manufacturers of these products do not have a plan for managing the environmental problem their products create. According to the co-founder of UKEcig Store, Harris Tanvir, “The growth of nā vape hoʻopau was largely unpredicted and even for those that had an inkling that it was coming, the scale and pace of the growth have been unprecedented. This has meant that the majority of vape suppliers have not had the time or resources to adequately plan a sustainable approach that considers waste,”.
ʻO ka pilikia kaiapuni nui ʻē aʻe e pili ana i kēia mau huahana ʻo kā lākou mau pā. Hele mai kēlā me kēia huahana me kahi pākahi lithium. Ua manaʻo ʻia e hoʻouna ʻia nā pākahi lithium huahana vaping i hiki ke hoʻohana i nā kaʻa uila 1200 i nā ʻāina ʻāina i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma UK wale nō. He mea ʻawaʻawa kēia mau pila a he nui nā pilikia no ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻōpala.
Ke kāhea nei ke aupuni a me nā mea kuleana he nui i nā mea hana e hoʻomaka i ke kuleana e pale i ke kaiapuni. Hāʻawi ka nui o nā mea kūʻai huahana vaping i nā wahi hoʻokuʻu kahi e hiki ai ke hoʻouna ʻia kēia mau huahana i hoʻohana ʻia. Ma kēia ala e hiki ai i nā mea hana ke hoʻihoʻi iā lākou i ka hale hana no ka hana hou ʻana.
