France Officially Bans Disposable ‘Puff’ Vapes
France has officially banned disposable vapes, commonly known as “puffs,” which have gained popularity among young people. The law, which was passed unanimously by France’s Parliament on February 13, aims to curb youth nicotine use and reduce waste, as reported by the daily newspaper Le Parisien.
The new measure prohibits the sale, distribution, and free provision of pre-filled, non-refillable vaping devices. However, it does not apply to refillable cartridges. The ban was proposed by former Green Party Deputy Francesca Pasquini and follows two years of legislative work, including consultations with the European Commission.
Lawmakers have criticized puffs for targeting young consumers by offering sweet flavors, colorful packaging, and low prices. Republican party rapporteur Khalife Khalife stated, “This market shamelessly targets children.” The National Committee Against Smoking praised the law but cautioned that manufacturers might attempt to exploit loopholes by continuing to sell disposable flavored e-cigarettes with limited recharges.
