Electronic Cigarettes: Pascal Montredon meets Yves Thréard

" Pascal Montredon , why do not you attack pharmacies that sell tobacco substitutes , as you attacked sellers of electronic cigarettes ? Montredon Pascal , president of the Confederation of tobacconists , answer me ! "
The answer Pascal Montredon :
"Our intention is not to attack pharmacies or other networks of traders, but to denounce the lawlessness that characterizes the same market of electronic cigarette , which is currently on sale in supermarkets , or the christmas markets !
Seriously , the electronic cigarette is wholly under the " act of smoking " it bears the name cigarette ; gestures consumer is exactly the smoker , and there are nicotine. Moreover, the vast majority of its users are smoking traditional cigarettes ( past or present because many smokers combine both).
Therefore, it is quite legitimate that this product is sold in a network such as tobacconists , adhering to strict regulations and under the supervision of the State, in charge of public health.
It is anomalous that shops, called " specialized" is allowed but mostly ephemeral , moving right in front of a tobacconist in reinforcement flashy advertising and promotion of the benefit of smoking ... Electronic Cigarette . That the Evin law also prohibits the tobacconists . Hence the decision of the Commercial Court of Toulouse, giving reason to the tobacconist . "
