      They fill landfills with descartable batteries, causing a lot of contamination. This is not the reason they’re being banned, but it should be.

            All forms of inhalation of substances which aren’t air causes damage to the lungs and throat.

              The steam from coffee damages your lungs and throat, I never knew that. Are you sure about that?
              What about aroma molecules, like sniffing a flower or perfume?

                Mr. pedantic loves raising pointless nonarguments. Nobody likes mr. pedantic. Don’t be like mr. pedantic, kids.

                Unless you’re functionally illiterate, it should be plentifully obvious that I meant particulate substances not expected to be naturally found in the air.

                  Alright, Mr Black-and-white. Ozone is naturally found in air, and is toxic, as is methane and any other number of organic particles that are released by natural processes.

                  Apart from your inaccurate use of language, you also made an unsupported assertion. I don’t believe you’re correct.

                    You’re insufferable, illiterate and stupid. That’s quite the combo!

                    Ozone is naturally found in air

                    In incredibly small concentrations. Do you consider yourself as being made of gold because there are micrograms of it in your body?

                    as is methane and any other number of organic particles that are released by natural processes.

                    Again, in incredibly small concentrations. Also, notice the assertion is “particulate substances not expected to be naturally found in the air are harmful”, not “only particulate substances […] are harmful” nor “all non-particulate substances […] aren’t harmful”. Even in your brainless interpretation you manage to fail.
