Soon he'll have to join the productive workforce so that he can afford cartridges. We might also observe a new wave of crimes from squirrels so that they can afford this new vice.
Would he be able to afford rent though in this economy, his days of eating acorns on trees and moving from one tree to another without paying rent are gone :-)
Most likely the squirrel is gonna create a meme coin and pump and dump it and become a influencer.
(On a more serious note, I am not sure if some ACTUAL Human being might create a meme coin or something about this squirrel... so there is some irony to it)
Why on earth are disposable vapes still legal. It is such an incredible waste. You know that the cohort they are marketed to are not going to dispose them responsibly.
Each one has a rechargeable battery, and most of them end up in landfills.
They're not. They've been banned in the UK for a while now. But I think the reusable ones are still cheap enough for people to be careless or just chuck them.
Welcome to another episode of regulation backfiring. People want disposable vapes, the government bans them, so companies find a way to provide technically rechargeable vapes that are disposable, now it creates even more waste, the customers suffer, the government pats itself on the back for making the world slightly worse. Tune in for the next episode: age verification for computing devices!
Looked to me like it was trying to work out whether it was edible. Sensible behaviour for an animal in a world where unfamiliar edible things appear from time to time.
It's a bit of a double edged sword. As someone who smoked and found it impossible to quit for decades, I'm very happy to have been able to switch to (reuasable) vaping. It's probably added years to my life expectancy.
OTOH the upsurge in nicotine use amongst young people feels suboptimal, and disposable vapes are a scourge.

>A squirrel has been filmed appearing to vape in a London park…
the words "Appearing to" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this tabloid article
Otherwise it is a discussion about technology.

It is such a waste. Ban them.
