World Health Organization calls for ALL flavored vapes to be banned worldwide

BY Connect News, Dec 14, 2023 7:58 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

The World Health Organization has advocated a ban on all flavored vapes. The World Health Organization has urged governments to ban e-cigarettes on the same lines as tobacco.

The United Nations agency said that the time has come to take necessary steps to control them. The World Health Organization cited the study as saying that there is little evidence that vapes have released cigarette butts.

The agency said flavored vapes pose a risk to non-smokers, particularly as they may increase nicotine addiction among children and youth.

According to the agency, children aged 13 to 15 are using it more than adults. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said all this is the result of aggressive marketing, which can lead to nicotine addiction at a young age.

Ghebreyesus said that all countries need to take strict steps in this regard. WHO said that vapes produce substances, some of which can cause cancer.
