The Puff, disposable electronic cigarettes with sour flavors, would represent a danger to the health of adolescents, alert several doctors.

Frozen pineapple, melon watermelon, caramel popcorn… The Puff, disposable electronic cigarettes with tangy flavors, are a hit with teenagers. “It doesn’t make you think of tobacco at all, it’s really much easier to smoke it”, says a teenager, Monday, May 1. For many young people, it is therefore easier to smoke a Puff than a cigarette. A misleading appearance for many doctors, for whom this cigarette represents a real danger.

“This device is a child predator”

“These products are mainly dosed with nicotine. (…) This device is a predator for children”, warns Loïc Josseran, president of the association “Alliance against tobacco”. This cigarette is also a predator for the environment, according to several associations. Puff waste is even more toxic than the 20,000 tonnes of cigarette butts thrown away every year in France. Doctors and environmental activists are calling for support for a bill tabled in the National Assembly to ban disposable electronic cigarettes.
