Everything you said is wrong. Refillable vapes are around the same price as disposables and kids get them from gas station attendants that don't care. What's this about organized crime?

Not everyone lives in the US. In my country, disposable vapes are banned, so everyone selling or buying them is committing a crime.
Even in the US, selling to kids is illegal in most states, so the same issue applies: kid can't buy vape at store, kid goes to adult who is likely to be criminal to get them to buy for them, now kid is vulnerable to exploitation.
Banning vapes is stupid. Its basically just handing a monopoly to organised crime.
