the aromas of disposable vapers are debated

They look like packets of candy and even taste like them: these are the puffs, disposable electronic cigarettes very popular among the youngest. Packed in multicolored packets, they have become essential. “We sell a lot more fruity than tobacco”observes Stéphane Guégan, tobacconist in Paris.

The addiction in question

While a quarter of teens are daily smokers, experts disagree on how harmful puffs are. According to Emmanuelle Beguinot, of the National Committee Against Smoking, “the aroma is actually a way to make people forget that they are consuming an extremely addictive drug, which is nicotine“. For Damien Mascret, doctor, “what we are sure of is that smoking an e-cigarette is much less worse than cigarettes with all the toxins of tobacco“. Questioned, a consumer admits that without the fruity taste of the puffs, he would never have started smoking.
