The French government intends to end the sale of disposable vapes (cigarettes électroniques) as part of a national anti-smoking campaign to be announced in the coming weeks.

• Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne told French radio network, RTL, that she would continue the work of former health minister, François Braun, in banning the devices, which are commonly known as 'puff' vapes. 
• The prime minister did not give an exact timeline for the ban, but former health minister Braun had previously stated that the goal would be to enact legislation getting rid of the devices by the end of 2023. 
• The disposable vapes, nicknamed 'puffs', are less expensive than cigarettes, with prices ranging from €8 to €12 for a '500 puff device'.
• The electronic cigarettes can contain up to 20mg of nicotine.
