The WHO Calls For Stricter E-Cig Regulations

Despite the fact that the EVALI cases have been linked to the consumption of illicit THC, the World Health Organization (WHO) says it is disturbed by the fact that vaping devices keep being marketed as safer alternatives to cigarettes and/or smoking cessation tools.

Even though research has indicated the contrary, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier, says that these health claims are unproven. “While these electronic nicotine delivery systems may be less toxic than conventional cigarettes, this does not make them harmless,” he said.

“They produce aerosols from the vapor that contain toxicants that can result in a range of significant pathological changes. These ends pose health risks for nonsmokers, to minors, to pregnant women — all of those who should not use such systems.”

As if there wasn’t enough misinformation going round, in response to the infamous EVALI outbreak in the US, the World Health Organization is now calling for stricter e-cig regulations. This despite the fact that the condition has been linked to the consumption of illicit THC, not regular nicotine e-liquids.  Enditem
