French Health Minister Urges Prime Minister to Quit E-Cigarette
According to French media outlet Leparisien, French Health Minister Olivier Veran commented on Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne's frequent use of e-cigarettes in the National Assembly. He advised Borne to cease this habit and also expressed his understanding of the process of transitioning from smoking to e-cigarettes.
In the past week, Senator Caroline Fiat has expressed her condemnation towards Senator Bonn for using an e-cigarette during the introduction of a new bill.
Here, we establish laws and are not above the law. When I am speaking to you (Boen) and you are vaping an e-cigarette in this room, it is a blatant disregard," she stated.
In parliament and various public forums, Bonn frequently utilizes an e-cigarette, a practice that has drawn criticism from opposing lawmakers.
The Health Minister attempted to defend Prime Minister Elizabeth Bourne.
Aurélien Rousseau stated, "I hope she will stop using e-cigarettes, and I also understand that this is a rather unpleasant moment.
Furthermore, he believes that according to the regulations of the National Assembly, using e-cigarettes in parliament is not authorized. Meanwhile, Rousseau stated that the Prime Minister uses e-cigarettes in order to quit smoking.
He added, "What I want to do is ensure that those who provide colorful packaging, fragrances, and similar enticing factors do not encourage young people to smoke.
