In the UK, 14 million single-use vapes are bought each month.
Proposals to ban single use and disposable vapes have been backed by West Dunbartonshire councillors concerned about the impact e-cigarettes are having on the environment.
The motion read: “This is an economic issue with 10 tonnes of lithium being discarded each year which is the equivalent to the batteries inside 1200 electric cars. It is also carrying out an urgent review on the impact of disposable vapes on our environment in Scotland.
