France becomes second European country to ban disposable e-cigarettes
France banned the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, aiming to protect youth from tobacco addiction and environmental harm. The bill prohibits the sale of pre-filled devices without refillable options. This measure, following EU recommendations, targets the attractiveness of flavored, affordable e-cigarettes to young users. The move aligns with the EU's goal of a tobacco-free generation by 2040. Belgium was the first country to implement such a ban. The United Kingdom plans a similar prohibition. The author of the bill hopes France's action will inspire other nations to follow suit.
