France May Ban Single-Use Electronic Cigarettes to Reduce Number of Smokers, French PM Says
Recent chemical analysis of e-cigarettes, conducted by Australian researcher Alexander Larcombe, revealed that they are likely to contain numerous harmful substances, including cancer-causing carcinogens, that pose a health risk to smokers.
The French authorities are planning to ban single-use electronic cigarettes, informally known as puffs, as part of the 2023-2028 national plan to fight
tobacco smoking and reduce the number of smokers in the country, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said on Sunday.
"Tobacco is [the cause of] 75,000 deaths annually, it is an enormous number. The government will soon present a new national plan to tackle tobacco smoking, which includes, among other things, a ban on single-use electronic cigarettes, known as 'puffs,' that are contributing to the development of harmful habits among young people," Borne told media.
The minister said that the French government would not raise the prices on conventional cigarettes.
