Voti del Parlamento francese per vietare le sigarette elettroniche usa e getta

**From AFP:**

The French parliament on Thursday voted to ban single-use electronic cigarettes, considered to be gateways to tobacco addiction for teenagers and harmful to the environment.

The bill was approved by the French parliament with a final vote in the Senate upper house. France now becomes the second EU country after Belgium to have introduced such a ban.

Pre-filled disposable e-cigarettes, known as “puffs”, are popular with young people, can have a high nicotine content, come in many flavours including apple, watermelon and cola and are cheap.

“It is a great victory in a two-pronged battle that we were fighting: an environmental battle against the polluting lithium batteries in these ‘puffs’, and a health battle for our schoolchildren,” lawmaker Francesca Pasquini, the author of the bill, told AFP.

Make them re-usable and re-fillable, then not as much of a problem.

Even if I vape myself, banning disposables is good.
