According to French media outlet Nice Matin's report on October 6th, the Monaco government announced during a press conference that they are currently drafting a legislation aimed at banning the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, commonly referred to as PUFF, which are widely used by teenagers within their borders.
Moroccan Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Christophe Robino, revealed to the media that the draft legislation has almost been finalized and will soon be presented to the national committee. He explained the reasons behind this policy and highlighted the unfavorable reception of disposable e-cigarettes.
There are two main reasons for this.
There are two main concerns regarding e-cigarettes that have gained recognition from officials in France, Europe, and many other countries. Firstly, health factors play a significant role as officials are aware of the high risk of teenagers transitioning from disposable e-cigarettes to traditional cigarettes, which can be attributed to the nicotine content. Secondly, environmental concerns arise due to the potential impact on the environment when these battery-operated devices are irresponsibly discarded.
Earlier, the French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne announced her government's determination to ban disposable e-cigarettes as part of France's anti-smoking measures.
Furthermore, Robino added that e-cigarettes that are rechargeable will not be affected by Monaco's upcoming legislation banning them.
