Harmful e-cigarettes must be better regulated to protect young people: WHO

Firstpost  

Doctor Vinayak Prasad said targeting children “with toxic and poisonous products is a criminal act. And it’s a human rights violation.” Electronic cigarettes and similar devices are dangerous to health and must be regulated to curb the tobacco industry’s “criminal” tactics to get young people hooked on nicotine, the World Health Organization warned Tuesday. The UN health agency’s eighth tobacco report said ENDS manufacturers often target youths with thousands of tantalising flavours – the document listed 16,000 – and reassuring statements. Doctor Vinayak Prasad, who heads the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, said targeting children “with toxic and poisonous products is a criminal action”. Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, the WHO’s global ambassador for non-communicable diseases, said: “As cigarette sales have fallen, tobacco companies have been aggressively marketing new products – like e-cigarettes and heated-tobacco products – and lobbied governments to limit their regulation.
