Next year, you won’t make any money by denouncing a user of puff, these disposable electronic cigarettes. Social networks have been buzzing in this direction for several days now, ensuring that this paid denunciation would be on the government’s program.

What if reporting could earn you money? With a target, the puff. This seems surprising, but this is what tweets, viewed more than a million times, say. So, true or false ? Can reporting puff smokers make money? This is obviously false. Elisabeth Borne did announce on September 3, the total ban on puff in 2024. But in the future national plan to combat tobacco, no mention of the slightest reward, no encouragement for the slightest denunciation.

Spreading the rumor without verifying it

Contacted, Matignon speaks of total fake news. But then, where does this rumor come from? Is its origin founded? We found the first Tik Tok publication that talks about it. Posted on October 6, it has 1.4 million views. We contacted its author. This 18-year-old tells us that originally, this viral fake news was just a simple joke. Subsequently, other Tik Toks took it upon themselves to spread the rumor, without ever verifying it.

Beyond this specific scenario which concerns fabricated fake news, slanderous denunciation is an offense which can be punished by five years of imprisonment and a fine of 45,000 euros.
