As reported The Parisian in an article published on November 30, Wednesday November 29, during his speech, Caroline Fiat did not hide her irritation upon realizing that Élisabeth Bornewho leaves nothing to his colleagues, and this without taking gloves, was vaping on the benches of the Assembly. Interrupting her speech, the MP for Meurthe-et-Moselle then sharply lectured the Prime Minister: “Vaping in this chamber while I’m talking to you, is that a total disregard?” The LFI MP and Vice-President of the Assembly then reminded the person who had mentioned her “loneliness” that it is strictly forbidden to use an electronic cigarette in a place for collective use, specifying: “Here, we write the law, we are not above the law”before reminding that vaping is not “not good for health”.

Is that polite and respectful of Parliament?”

What does she risk?
Anyone caught vaping or smoking In the hemicycle of the National Assembly or the Senate, effectively considered as places for collective use, may be fined €150. The matter is all the worse because, as Caroline Fiat recalled, on Tuesday November 28, the Minister of Health Aurélien Rousseau had just presented his anti-smoking plan, which notably proposes an expansion of non-smoking places! While rumors about a possible replacement of the Prime Minister are starting again with a vengeanceÉlisabeth Borne would probably benefit from confining her bad habit to places where it is authorized…
