The French Senate passed a bill to completely ban the sale of disposable e-cigarette devices in the country, becoming the second EU country to implement a disposable e-cigarette ban after Belgium. A previous survey showed that 47% of French teenagers said their nicotine addiction started with e-cigarettes.

According to France24 on February 13, the French Senate passed a bill banning the sale of disposable e-cigarette devices in the country.

Following the unanimous vote of the French National Assembly last week to pass the ban on disposable e-cigarettes, the Senate also approved the ban on the 13th, ending more than two years of parliamentary debate. The legislative proposal was proposed by MP Francesca Pasquini and then submitted to the European Commission.

France will become the second EU country after Belgium to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarette products within its territory. Previously, the UK, which has long left the EU, announced that it would ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes in June 2025.

According to a 2023 survey by the French Tobacco Control Alliance, 15% of French teenagers aged 13 to 16 use e-cigarettes, and 47% said their nicotine addiction started with e-cigarettes.
