LET'S WATCH THE VAPING BUT DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BLOCKING IT!
On the occasion of la World No Tobacco Day, Wendy Bouchard engages the debate on smoking and vaping in his show on Europe 1. For the occasion, two specialists were present to answer the many questions: Jean-Pierre Couteron, Psychologist and Addictologist, Spokesperson of the Federation Addiction and the Pr Loïc Josseran, Professor of Public Health, President of the Alliance Against Tobacco.
For Jean-Pierre Couteron « There is a debate on vaping, I am as an addictologist and practitioner favorable to vaping but on the condition that we also talk about other substitutes". He reminds us that today " vaping is the most chosen tool and it has a number of advantages "
For his part Jean-Pierre Couteron wishes to recall that " Vaping is not smoking, vapor is not smoke". According to him " it would be good to have places where it is totally forbidden to vape and others where there could be a tolerance with the vaper as soon as it does not interfere and since it is in a process of quitting smoking "
Regarding the regulation of vaping, the addictologist is clear: " Every time we tried to close an emergency exit, we caused public health disasters. Let's watch it, but let's not make the mistake of blocking vaping that keeps millions of people off smoking«
