Belgium becomes first European country to ban disposable e-cigarettes<br /><br />From January 1, 2025, Belgium will become the first European Union country to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, known as puffs, on its territory. The measure, targeting a product wildly popular with young people, is part of a national anti-tobacco plan, with the EU aiming to achieve a tobacco-free generation by 2040. "I think it's good that they're stopping the sale," says Yona, a puffs consumer, "there are a lot of young people who don't necessarily think about the consequences."<br /><br />JEREMY AUDOUARD / AFPTV / AFP VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br />Sign up to our newsletters: https://tmt.ph/newsletters<br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#themanilatimes<br />#worldnews<br />#belgium
