WHO Calls for Urgent Action on Rising E-Cigarette Use Among Minors

E-cigarettes Ineffective for Quitting Tobacco, Pose Significant Health Risks, Says WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for urgent action to address the significant increase in e-cigarette use among minors.
The WHO suggests that e-cigarettes are not effective for quitting tobacco use at the population level and have adverse population health effects.
E-cigarettes are being aggressively marketed to young people, with data showing a drastic increase in e-cigarette use among younger people, especially those aged 13-15.
The WHO has called for enforcement measures, including the banning of flavored e-cigarettes.
Despite the industry's claims, the WHO maintains that vapes pose significant health risks, including cancer, heart and lung disorders, and harm to brain development in young people.
