This morning, Agnès Buzyn, Minister of Health was the guest of the 7 / 9 Nicolas Demorand on France Inter. If she was interviewed on tobacco topics, she also gave her opinion on the e-cigarette.
« LESS TOXIC AS THE CIGARETTE«
What to retain from the intervention of Agnes Buzyn at the microphone of France Inter? This new exit from the Minister of Health is more positive and this one seems to be slowly emerging from its "conservatism". In the show of Nicolas Demorand on France-Inter, she declares :
“There are a lot of studies on vaping, on electronic cigarettes… they are not all consistent.
“One of the reasons vaping was subject to the same rules as cigarettes - notably, not the right to vape on planes - is that it could be supposed to bring young people into smoking and that it could be a beginning of addiction to gesture and nicotine… that's what these surveys say. Other surveys, on the contrary, particularly international ones, do not say that.
“Me, I continue to be careful about vaping. We do not know, in the end, what the toxicity of all these products is. Some are for sale on the Internet. We don't always know what's inside ...
“It will be less toxic than cigarettes anyway. It's a certainty. Because frankly, cigarettes are so dreadful. There is no doubt about that!
"However, from there to vaping for fun and to think that it is harmless… that, I do not believe it. "
