That can be read all over the media , the success of the electronic cigarette for smokers is really encouraging , especially in recent months . Because of this skyrocketed in demand, the number of shops that primarily sell this product also continues to increase. New shops open in tens and even in big cities .
Recall that the electronic cigarette is just old decade . It was a Herbert A. Gilbert, who had filed the first patent in 1963 , but it was unsuccessful. It was only after the Chinese pharmacist has developed a first prototype and was allied to Golden Dragon Holdings to offer for sale the first electronic cigarette in 2005 as the product began to make themselves known . Since the beginning of its history , the electronic cigarette has been designed with the idea to replace both cursed and beloved killer cigarette , which is manufactured and is made with paper and tobacco.
In those days , nobody could imagine that this little gadget Smoky became a blockbuster product , only ten years later. Statistics economists on turnover growth market for electronic cigarette really show that this is a business become very important. In the United States, for example , analysts estimate the number of users of the electronic cigarette or e-cigarette to 2.5 million people, all smokers or ex-smokers with . Statistics firm Statistic Brain also highlight that e- cigarettes are effective in helping all smokers who want to quit tobacco. Their studies have shown that 31% of individuals who have made a test with the product could completely abandon their traditional cigarettes after about six months vapotage . As for economic data, they are also very promising. Analysts estimate the turnover generated by the successful market for electronic cigarette 20 million in 2008 and given its growing success, sales could increase to ten billion dollars the year 2017.
This large expansion of the sale of e- cigarettes has brought all economic actors to engage in the niche . There are not very long , large groups of tobacco began gradually to invest in the business of e- cigarettes. The electronic cigarette has become a real trend . There are more and more models and tastes . The names of different brands abound in the world.
The electronic cigarette is available in many areas of sales : in specialty shops, on the Internet or at tobacconists . In some countries , there are also electronic cigarette pharmacy or supermarket . The leading manufacturer of electronic cigarette in the United States is now the company NJOY , and all other brands occupy only 41 % of the market .
We can say that the business of electronic cigarette is a much more interesting business from a financial point of view . But ... there is always a but ... but it seems that they are now the tobacconists who want to seize this profitable market for electronic cigarette.
In France , the situation of the electronic cigarette is not the most comfortable . The amendment bill on consumption has been voted by the members of the Assembly . The bill stipulates the prohibition of sale of electronic cigarettes to minors under 18 years. This is a story that has generated more controversy.
This time it is the sellers who disagree .
According to the sellers, contrary to what experts OFT in their report and also to what the Minister of Social Affairs and Health Marisol Touraine , the banning access to electronic cigarettes for minors is not a solution to prevent smoking because they always find a way to continue to get them. Sellers even think that this new law could then reverse , prevent them from entering the world of tobacco.
The Minister of Health said that the purpose of this new rule on the use of the electronic cigarette was to establish a more serious frame Product "in the same way as cigarettes and tobacco ." Marisol Touraine therefore wants to submit the electronic cigarette without tobacco to the same legislation as traditional tobacco cigarette with adverse effects is no longer a secret to everyone. In this regard, the Minister did not hesitate to say: " No advertising in newspapers, on the subway or on posters , no sales to minors, and it shall enter into force quickly" for electronic cigarette!
Even a contradictory situation since the electronic cigarette does not contain tobacco. It does not produce harmful smoke as the "normal" cigarette. Furthermore , the electronic cigarette is less expensive . Even if we talk about lack of evidence of its effectiveness and lack of scientific studies on its effects on health, nobody can deny it until the time is much less dangerous than a real cigarette . Among his million followers in France , there are many who testify to their satisfaction on the forums via the internet or in newspapers. It is certain that the electronic cigarette helps smokers to let go of the killer cigarette and therefore significantly reduce their nicotine .
What vendors say about this new law seems true if one understands what that young people think . A 16 year old lance eg " My mother buys " when asked about the subject. Most young people seem a bit surprised by this new amendment . "They always told me that it was already better than smoking a normal cigarette ," argued the girl . Like her, all young people could also easily bypass this new legislation. They will always find other tips and tricks to get an electronic cigarette they would like. It will be exactly like what happens to alcohol , tobacco and other drugs. Their supplier ? If this is not Mom, it will be a buddy age to buy or someone else with permission .
Faced with all this, the sellers think that this will not change anything to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors. By cons , it could help save the youth who are already smokers who are motivated to stop using the electronic cigarette. A saleswoman in a shop for e- cigarettes to Paris explains that most minors who just supply home clients are often accompanied by their parents and that they are almost all " young people who already smoke and want to get away " . "It is impossible, hundreds of stores we are in France . We know that the effects are less harmful than cigarettes " criticizes the seller .
