There is more and more talk of a "problem" in the sale of vaping products among minors and companies like Juul Labs are often pointed at. In order to make things clear and give the market to follow, the Confederation of tobacconists et France Vapotage today publish a press release concerning a new campaign " Vape is for adults"
LAUNCH OF A CAMPAIGN FOR RESPONSIBLE VAPE
PRESS RELEASE,
Paris, the 10 July 2019
LAUNCH OF A RESPONSIBLE VAPING CAMPAIGN
"VAPE IS FOR ADULT SMOKERS AND VAPOERS"
France Vapotage and the Confederation of tobacconists are launching a campaign this summer for distributors of vaping products, recalling that vaping products are intended exclusively for adults.
France Vapotage, the federation of manufacturers of vaping products, and the Confederation of tobacconists, which brings together a network of 24 shops, wished to join forces to carry out a campaign intended to demonstrate that as players in the vape, manufacturers and distributors alike are keen to adopt a responsible approach.
Countryside " Responsible vape, vaping is for adults "Includes two communication media, a sticker and a stop-ray, distributed via the magazine Le Losange and via the commercial members of the member companies of the Federation.
French regulations rightly prohibit the sale and distribution of vaping products to minors. If the regular use of vaping products among this public remains a very small minority and does not constitute a gateway to tobacco, fears are expressed however as to the increase in experimentation with vaping among young people.
In this context, it seems fundamental to us to recall and underline the responsible commitment of our entire sector to ensure that those under 18 cannot access vaping products.
The Confédération des Buralistes and all the members of France Vapotage are very attached to this principle. The Charter of France Vapotage includes among the 10 commitments of its members that of " refrain from any marketing practice that may attract children and minors"
France Vapotage and the Confédération des Buralistes invite all players, manufacturers and distributors, to support their joint initiative to remind people that vaping is intended exclusively for adults.
