The vape store will be closed during the French outbreak
At present, the outbreak of new pneumonia in France is not optimistic. As of the evening of March 17, local time, the cumulative number of confirmed cases in France has reached 7,730, an increase of 1,097 from the previous day.
In the face of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic that is not optimistic, the French government has also begun to respond quickly, introducing a number of medical and administrative measures, and doing its utmost to avoid the widespread spread of immunization in China.
On March 14th, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the implementation of the new level 3 pneumonitis warning and closed all non-essential stores, including the vape store.
As France is officially transitioning to the third stage in the prevention of the coronavirus epidemic, the Prime Minister has asked all non-essential companies to remain closed. This means that only food companies, pharmacies, service stations, banks and tobacco companies are allowed to open.
vape stores are not included in the list of companies allowed to continue business, but they can still send orders by delivery or collection.
An vape store in Paris announced on Instagram: For any order and delivery, please contact us by phone or email. The only exception is vape stores located in shopping malls, because they must close the curtains.
Until recently, tobacco shops had the right to continue business and demanded financial assistance, which made many vape merchants resentful. L630 Yann Bisiou, a lecturer in private law at the University of Montpellier, said in an article that the wording of the decree is ambiguous.
"If there is ambiguity in the drafting of the Decree of March 14, 2020, then according to the provisions of this article, it can be concluded that vape shops are not affected by the ban and can continue their activities unless they are installed In the shopping mall.
FIVAPE President Jean Moiroud said he has contacted the Minister of Health to request an extension of the authorization to open vape stores "on the basis of public health."
SIIV explained on its Facebook page that it "is making every effort to expand the list of businesses that can continue to operate" and has approached Fivape, and Aiduse and Sovape are taking joint action in this direction.
