Scottish ministers are due to publish the findings of a review into their environmental impact
BBC Scotland's environment correspondent
Disposable vapes are a problem because they contain lithium batteries which should be taken to a recycling facility for disposal. Refillable vapes are available which are much cheaper to use in the long-term and have less of an environmental impact.Company director Doug Mutter - who is also the director of the UK Vaping Industry Association - said disposables have a place for smokers who would like to try vaping but do not want to invest in reusable kit.
Mr Mutter said: "For me, there should be a ban on disposables that we would support if there were proper punishments and policing put in place to enforce the ban and ensure that a black market doesn't bubble up."
