It fits in a pocket, smells of strawberry, watermelon or bubble gum… and it’s invading the pockets of teenagers. The disposable electronic cigarette, nicknamed PEUF or PUFF, is a hit with young people. But behind its innocuous appearance, this product hides a much darker reality.
💥 A dangerous new trend for young people’s health
At first glance, it seems harmless. Playful. Colorful. But the puff is far from being a simple gadget. These electronic cigarettes contain a high dose of nicotine, leading to rapid addiction, sometimes as early as the first week ofuse.
In France, more and more teenagers are being seduced. The marketing is clever: the products are sweet, the packaging attractive, and vaping seems gentler than conventional tobacco. Yet the health risks are very real: addiction, respiratory problems, irritation, neurological effects…
🎯 Just because a cigarette is electronic doesn’t mean it has no effect.
🧠 The lure of the disposable electronic cigarette
Disposable cigarettes, like puffs, give the illusion of almost harmless recreational use. But each puff delivers as much nicotine as a dozen conventional cigarettes.
As a result, young smokers often enter a cycle of smoking, without even passing through the traditional cigarette box. An insidious slide that medical sources such as the French Federation of Cardiology have long been warning of.
And yet, right in the middle of school classes, these electronic devices are exchanged like candy…
🌍 Pollution everywhere: PEUF, the enemy of the environment
As well as damaging our health, puffs are a disaster for theenvironment. Made from plastic, chemical liquids, metals and batteries, this disposable cigarette cannot be recycled. And since they only last a few hundred puffs… they often end up on the ground.
In the streets, on beaches, in parks… these disposable products are already littering the sidewalks in many French towns and cities.
🌱 Each abandoned puff becomes highly polluting waste.
⚡ Its battery contains lithium.
💧 Its toxic liquids can contaminate water sources.
In other words, in addition to poisoning young people, these disposable electronic cigarettes are causing lasting damage to our ecosystem.
⚖️ Legislation slow to prohibit
Despite expert warnings, French law has not yet definitively banned the sale of puffs. However, several countries such as Germany, Belgium and Australia have already taken radical measures.
The French government is talking about a ban, but it’s taking a long time to get through. Meanwhile, the vapeindustry continues to seduce younger consumers with ever more attractive flavors.
The French, increasingly sensitive toecological impact, are now calling for clear action. Banning these products would not be a political choice: it would be a health and environmental emergency.
