It isn't. That was illegal marijuana vapes.

The FDA just hates flavored nicotine products because they're appealing (to both adults and children), and the FDA doesn't want nicotine products to be appealing (because nicotine is perceived to be a public health problem on the scale of tobacco).

Weed disposables are a whole rabbit hole by themselves.

You want to buy a disposable? Ok, here, $20 and you're done.

But if you want to make the oil at home? Ok, $2000 for lights, timers, nutrients, seeds, and a grow tent. Plus another ~$10,000 for a basic short path distillation setup. And honestly to make anything close to what you get in the disposables, you'll need to hire an expert with experience. And you need a lot of space for your new secret lab. For 99.999% of people, it's super not worth it to make at home.

I'm kind of in favor of non-persecution OTC at a pharmacy nicotine patches.

I hate anything added to the air. Even perfumes irritate and make me sneeze in high quantity.
