"This is a real surprise," admits Professor Bertrand Dautzenberg, author of this study of more than 13,000 high school students in Paris.

Within a year, experimenting with e-cigarettes which starts 12 years has doubled full swing in 16-17 years: they are 53% have held their hands. In parallel, the number of students lighting a cigarette past the door of their establishment has reduced significantly. When 20% of 12-15 year olds smoked in 2011, they are now 11.2%. Same dynamic in high school, where 33.5% of students smoke in 2014, against 42.9% in 2011.
