The ban on “puffs”, disposable single-use electronic cigarettes, on the agenda of the Assembly in December

MPs must consider a transpartisan bill at the beginning of December to ban “puffs”, disposable single-use electronic cigarettes, “a public health aberration” et “environmental“, according to its authors.

These cheap cigarettes, with a tangy or fruity taste and colorful design, are worrying because they target adolescents, while electronic cigarettes are prohibited for minors. The upcoming ban on these products, which offer a certain number of puffs for a nicotine level of between 0 and 20 mg/ml, was also called for by Elisabeth Borne at the beginning of September.

In November 2022, the environmentalist MP Francesca Pasquini and the Renaissance elected official Michel Lauzzana tabled a text to this effect, supported by a wide range of groups, denouncing “an aberration both from the point of view of public health and that of the environmental footprint“.

The conference of presidents, which brings together the leaders of the National Assembly, decided on Tuesday to include it on the agenda for the next “Assembly week“, scheduled for December 4 to 8. Always looking for legislative time for deputies’ proposals, the Assembly will now divide these weeks between texts from the presidential majority (60% of the time) and transpartisan texts (40%). .
