surge in popularity in disposable vapes in recent years. but crucially, the accounts do also note that the forthcoming ban will have a detrimental effect on sales and profitability. now, they add in these documents that they've been preparing for this and that they're well—equipped to pivot the business to the exclusive sale of non—disposable vapes and related products. and, in fact, they have already started selling reusable versions of some of their most popular disposable vapes. and the main difference seems to be that the liquid that contains the nicotine comes in a replaceable pod, and there is a usb port at the end of the vape, which means that it becomes rechargeable. now, some groups — including, as you said, the local government association, which represents councils in england — are critical of this, saying it doesn't necessarily bring the kind of benefits that the ban was designed to address. they say this definition of "disposable" really needs to be made clearer to prevent companies finding what they call "loopholes" in the legislation.
