This is a new phenomenon that is hampering the healthy development of vaping, a real risk reduction tool in the face of smoking. At the end of 2021, the " Puff » arrives and hundreds of users of the social network Tiktok promote the product via videos. After the phenomenon Juul“, this new accessible product for young people is creating real confusion in the world of vaping. The Fivape she herself is worried and has been sounding the alarm since December.
"PUFF" OR VAPE PEN, A PRACTICAL TOOL THAT MUST BE WATCHED!
With its WPuff, Liquideo is particularly targeted in the expansion of this new phenomenon among young people. However, this company specializing in vaping is not the only one to offer this kind of simple and unfortunately too accessible products for young people. Should we really blame the manufacturer or should we rather turn to retailers who do not respect the legislation in force?
« I'm really sorry, it won't happen again “, blatant example of a manager of the tobacconist who has just received the call from a mother reassembled. Indeed, his son, a high school student, bought a puff, this disposable electronic cigarette prohibited for sale to minors.
By the end of 2021, hundreds of social network users Tiktok promote the product via videos. As for " Juul“, the phenomenon explodes. College and high school students flock to tobacconists. We have to sell 70 to 80 puffs a week. We try to be careful who we sell them to. Every day 5 or 6 miners try to "cheat" and buy some from us “says the manager of a tobacconist.
Through a press release, the FIVAPE sounds the alarm and declares having already denounced the phenomenon in December by issuing reports to the DGCCRF, MILDECA and DGS. Jean Moiroud, President of FIVAPE declares for his part: » These products create confusion among vaping products. The vape is a risk reduction tool, the objective of which is to help major smokers quit tobacco. These disposable models have a price and ease of use that make them accessible to the youngest "
Colorful packaging and sweet taste, " the product is not intended for people in their fifties. The core target is young people ", slice Alain Didier, head of the respiratory tract center at the Toulouse University Hospital. the 
pulmonologist assures: Many professionals share the same concern. The addictive taste of the puffs and the nicotine level present in them (between 0% and 1.7%, editor's note) induce a rapid addiction. Later, young people could seek this sensation in tobacco and other derivatives. ".
Worse still, some engage in a veritable “black market” trade in these products popularized among young people. Some have seen the phenomenon grow on Tiktok and have embarked on a lucrative business by buying hundreds of “Puff” and then offering them to young people. Some go so far as to offer a formula with delivery:” on his Snapchat account: a “Puff” purchased, 1 packet of candy and a caprisun (fruit juice) offered. ".
So what to do? Because in the end these products are neither more nor less than vaping products whose vocation is to stop smoking. Unfortunately, these kinds of abuses are on the increase, and risk confirming very clearly the inescapable usefulness of strict new directives on vaping products.
