The bid to ban e-cigarettes drew anger from suppliers in Britain, where some 1.3 million of the current 10 million smokers have switched to the electronic devices. François Digard, mayor of Saint-Lo in La Manche region of Normandy passed a decree this month outlawing electronic cigarettes, after receiving several complaints from residents. ‘The e-cigarette is not neutral in the immediate environment. With it emitting odour and a bit of smoke it can really bother some people,’ Mr Digard told local radio station France Bleu Cotentin.”
