World Health Organization (WHO) on the official website of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the name Take urgent measures to control the sale of electronic cigarettes. Experts said manufacturers use aggressive advertising to persuade schoolchildren and students to buy their products.
According to studies and research by the World Health Organization, children aged 13-15 use e-cigarettes more frequently than adults. This is facilitated by the fact that manufacturers develop attractive, colorful designs and use social networks as advertising platforms. Experts noted that even a cursory look at such advertisements can create a positive impression about the product in children and young people and make them want to try the product.
WHO also rejects claims that e-cigarettes are a safer alternative to traditional tobacco smoking. Experts declared that e-cigarettes are extremely addictive and harmful to health. Although the long-term negative effects of their use are not fully understood, e-cigarette liquids have been found to contain toxic substances. Some cause the development of cancer and increase the risk of heart and lung diseases. E-cigarette use can also affect brain function and lead to learning disabilities in young people.
WHO calls on countries to take measures to reduce the attractiveness of electronic cigarettes to the public, especially school children and students. Experts insist that in addition to banning the production and sale of electronic cigarettes with different flavors, the concentration and quality of nicotine in e-cigarettes with a neutral taste should be monitored.
