This, cartridges make me feel dirty, let alone wasting a entire li-ion cell too.

    There are some shops that will actually collect the vapes and send them back to the manufacturer for recycling. But it's less common than it used to be, which frustrates me to no end, it should be the reverse if anything.

    It makes you feel dirty, but the question is do you still do it anyway - and if the answer is yes, that's the problem. because that's what drives the whole industry.

    Individuals having desires is not "the problem". That would be corporations having free reign to behave however the fuck they want, so long as they can pay the fed.

    There's more than one problem. Even if politicians weren't bribey and Citizens United didn't give corps a license to bribe them, we would still have pollution and other problems because individuals choose convenience over doing the right thing - which is "the" problem I meant.
