PARIS (AP) — French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said Sunday that disposable vapes will soon be banned in the country as part of a national anti-smoking plan.
She said the government would soon unveil its new plan to combat smoking, which she said is the cause of 75,000 deaths a year in the country.
It will include a ban on disposable vapes, which she said “are giving bad habits to young people.”
