Question 22493 — health

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Demilly draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the questions surrounding the use of electronic cigarettes. While the number of "vapers" continues to increase - 500,000 additional "vapers" in 2018 according to the annual barometer of Public Health France - studies are not unanimous on the consequences of this practice. Thus, the High Council of Health, in an opinion published on 24 February 2016, spoke out in favor of electronic cigarettes as an aid in stopping or reducing tobacco consumption. On the contrary, the World Health Organization, in its latest report on the fight against tobacco in the world, describes electronic cigarettes as harmful and considers that the evidence is not sufficient to consider it as an aid to cessation. These discordant studies do not allow citizens to clearly know the consequences of using electronic cigarettes on their health. He would therefore like to know the Government's position on this subject.
