On Monday evening, the Assembly's Social Affairs Committee reinstated the pack of neutral cigarettes, a provision that had been removed by senators. The deputies, who are examining the Health Bill, also voted for its article 5 undecies, which makes it mandatory for companies to the provision of a place reserved for vaping .
No "vaping" in some places
The provision provides for a ban " to vapote " in the " Closed public transportation" , the " schools and establishments for the reception of minors " and the " closed and covered workplaces for collective use"
In the last two places mentioned, and therefore In the enterprises, who are " spaces reserved for the use of electronic vaping devices are made available to vapers"
"Inapplicable" according to the opposition
An obligation " totally inapplicable Enrage Gilles Lurton, MP LR of Ille-et-Vilaine. " That it is necessary for the person who vapote to go vaping outside, as currently do smokers (...), I admit it quite. But forcing the company to create a specific place is something that I have trouble understanding ..."
« Pity for French companies ! Do they need (…) to have an additional constraint ?!“, Also rebelled Bernard Accoyer, the deputy Les Républicains de Haute-Savoie. " So no obligation to have places for smoking in the company, but obligation to have places for vaping?", Indignant UDI Arnaud Richard, implicating" coherence Of the text's rapporteur, the Socialist Gérard Sebaoun. " Soon, we will ban chewing gum or taking candy! »
To justify his amendment, he explained that it is technically much simpler to imagine places where you can vapot than places where you can smoke". Gérard Sebaoun, who said that the electronic cigarette is " a good idea to get out of tobacco", Is favorable to vaping, but not" inside the offices". Hence his idea of forcing companies to provide premises.
The debate was quite tense, Bernard Accoyer asking including " if you have the right to breathe While LR MP Valérie Boyer made it clear that " soon, we will ban chewing gum or taking candy! »
The provision will apply if the members decide, in public session, to vote on Article 5 undecies of the draft law. The debates in the hemicycle will begin November 16.
