Environmental Threat

Vaping contains many chemicals and it may be qualified as a biohazard waste. The vapes are not recycled properly. In fact, vapes do not have any instructions on how to recycle the devices. There is not currently a way to legally recycle vapes in the United States. When the vapes are littered, the environment can be exposed to residuals from the chemcials in the vape. It can also leach the toxic metals on the device as well as the battery acid into the environment.
