The World Health Organization (hereinafter referred to as WHO) recently released a report stating that more than 8 million people die every year due to smoking and exposure to smog. The WHO stated that it is disturbing that e-cigarettes are still being sold as health products. The WHO has called for stricter regulations on the marketing of e-cigarettes.

Vinayak Prasad, the head of WHO's tobacco control project, pointed out that e-cigarettes have more than 15,000 different flavors. Fashion marketing in the tobacco industry is attracting young people to use e-cigarettes, which may lead to tobacco addiction. "Only 42% of countries restrict the sale of (cigarettes) to minors. Children who use e-cigarettes will be twice as likely to become a'frequent smoker' group. This is dangerous. It may re-normalize tobacco in society. "Prasad said.

WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that e-cigarettes are being "actively promoted as a'safer' or'smokeless' alternative to cigarettes", and tobacco and related industries are using "the same old marketing strategy to promote new products." "To induce children to smoke nicotine and bypass tobacco laws. Tedros said that nicotine is very addictive. Electronic cigarettes are harmful and must be supervised.

"Although the toxicity of e-cigarettes may be lower than that of traditional cigarettes, it does not mean that they are harmless." WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier said, "This will affect non-smokers, minors, pregnant women, etc. All people who do not smoke e-cigarettes pose a health threat."

The WHO stated that long-term research on the health effects of e-cigarettes should be started; the promotion of e-cigarettes to non-smokers, pregnant women and adolescents should be prohibited; measures should be taken to minimize the potential risks of these devices to users and others , And the tobacco industry should be prohibited from using unverified health claims to sell e-cigarette products
