Over the last couple of years, disposable vapes have created an intriguing buzz of discussion. Inevitably, people who enjoy vaping are more inclined to see the positives of these handy devices, whereas those who are opposed to vaping are often focused only on the negatives.
Given that we often see many of our favorite celebrities and movie stars vaping, and quite frequently during performances or publicity appearances, it’s hardly surprising that vaping is a regularly trending topic of conversation. What’s more, we often see discourse split into two main groups, with those who are for and against vaping as a mainstream activity.
Right now, the hottest debate surrounds the use of disposable vapes, whether it’s the convenient pleasure they provide or their societal and environmental impacts. As we delve into this hot potato topic ourselves, we’re going to look at what these devices are, famous people who use them, and the drama that continually seems to surround the topic of vaping.
What Are Disposable Vapes?
Just as the question would suggest, disposable vapes are single-use vaping devices that are designed for convenience and simplicity. Disposable vapes typically come pre-filled and are equipped with a fully charged battery, making them immediately ready for your usage without the need for assembly, recharging, or refilling.
Once the oil or liquid in the tank is depleted or the battery runs out, the entire device can be disposed of and replaced with another. In the United States vaping market, CCELL disposables are one of the most popular brands, given they feature the same proprietary ceramic coil technology as the repeated use of vape cartridges and pod systems.
Nevertheless, the popularity of disposable vapes has also led to innovative disposable vape designs. These include the CCELL Pike, introducing pod-based vaping in a disposable format, plus the CCELL Poché, which includes a rechargeable battery, allowing for continued use until every last drop of liquid or oil is depleted.
Essentially, disposable vapes offer a more convenient and cost-effective way for users to enjoy vaping, which is also why there are now more products and options available than ever before. Technological advances have also increased the performance of disposable vapes, improving vaporization methods and the overall quality of authentic brands.
Famous Actors Who Enjoy Vaping
Although their fame and celebrity status tends to elevate them above the average person, just like many normal and everyday people, many famous and popular actors also enjoy puffing on their own favorite vaping devices of choice.
A-list actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp enjoy vaping so much, they’re often seen relaxing and puffing away in public, whether on their way to movie sets or during awards ceremonies. Then you have Katherine Heigl, who frequently vapes in TV interviews and without any stigmas attached to her enjoyment of a simple pleasure.
But if you want the epitome of celebrity vapers, look no further than Samuel L. Jackson, who is regularly observed taking his enjoyment of vaping to whole new levels, including images and posts via his own social media platforms.
During one famous poetry slam appearance, Samuel L. Jackson happily puffed on a disposable vape while reciting words in his own uniquely measured way, adding to the ambiance of his performance on stage by taking a puff on his disposable vape between lines.
Why the Controversy About Disposable Vapes?
Mostly in Europe and particularly in the United Kingdom, disposable vapes have become a controversial topic of debate. Indeed, the World Vapers Alliance recently published an article discussing the pros and cons of vaping, as certain European countries weigh up banning the sale of single-use devices.
The positive aspects of disposable vapes include ease of access for smokers to less harmful alternatives, the convenience and portability of such vaping devices, and the cost-effectiveness for beginners. Also highlighted was the importance of accessibility for elderly users, those with disabilities, or as aids for quitting smoking.
However, the negatives mentioned were potential access for youngsters and adolescents, environmental concerns about disposable vapes and the need for sustainable recycling solutions, plus issues relating to safety and quality control. Also mentioned was a certain societal stigma, plus adverse targeting by anti-vaping groups and political lobbyists.
Nevertheless, due to the continued popularity of vaping, the World Vapers Alliance has called for a more common-sense approach akin to the United States and Canada. Regulations are tighter in both countries with more focus on quality and control, but everyone, including the most famous actors, has the liberty to vape when they please.
How Vaper Consideration is Key
Vaping is an enjoyable experience for many people, who relish the texture and flavor of the vapor they are inhaling, produced by the oils or liquids in their vaping device. But not everyone shares the pleasure of that experience, and they may feel inconvenienced by the vapors you exhale.
Really, it’s all about being considerate of your surroundings and others. Resist the urge to vape in the proximity of people who express their discomfort with your activity. It’s quite a simple courtesy, as you don’t want your own pleasure to cause displeasure for someone else.
Likewise, one of the key debates is how the devices are disposed of after usage, often raising environmental concerns akin to those of many other portable devices with batteries. However, with a little careful thought and consideration, the disposal of used vapes doesn’t have to be complicated.
Some vaping suppliers and manufacturers now offer exchanges for vapes that are returned for recycling, while there are waste management centers in various locations across the United States that accept used vapes. Increasingly, manufacturers are conscious of the need to produce with component recycling in mind.
