The labourer, of Leeds, said: "The irony was I was having a cigarette out my window when I saw this squirrel puffing on a vape. "It really looked like it was trying to smoke it. I fear it could potentially die if it bites into the battery. "Seeing that made me fear for all the other animals potentially getting hooked on the flavours. "Littered e-cigarettes are a real issue now and only getting worse. "I see so many in the Yorkshire Dales. They need to be banned as soon as possible as it's a danger to nature and our planet."
