WHO sounds alarm on harmful e-cigarettes
Electronic cigarettes and similar devices are dangerous to health and must be regulated to curb the tobacco industry's tactics to get young people hooked on nicotine, the World Health Organisation warned on Tuesday.
Nicotine is highly addictive. Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) are harmful, and must be better regulated, said WHO chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic 2021, which focused on new and emerging products, was published on Tuesday and said ENDS should be tightly regulated for maximum public health protection.
