That's only true for disposable vapes tho and I think a Pfand system, like we have for plastic bottles in Germany, would be a way better idea. People are already illegaly shipping them in from China, banning them won't stop that.

That's a nonsense nonargument. If the bulk of purchases are already illegal, then there's no harm in banning what is clearly a harmful item.
