WHO urges governments to ban all flavours of E-Cigarettes globally
The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for governments to treat electronic cigarettes, commonly known as vapes, with the same regulatory framework as traditional tobacco products and to implement a ban on all flavors.
This recommendation could pose challenges for major tobacco companies, which have been banking on a transition to cigarette alternatives, aiming for 50% of revenues from ‘non-combustible’ products by 2035.
According to a report by the WHO last year, vapes are already banned in 34 countries, including Brazil, India, Iran, and Thailand.
