Why E-Vapes Are Hazardous
E-vapes contain:
- Lithium batteries – Can overheat, catch fire, or explode if damaged.
- Nicotine – Highly toxic and harmful to people and the environment.
- Other chemicals – Heavy metals and plastics that can leach into soil and water.
Improper disposal can start fires in garbage trucks or landfills and pollute the environment.
