Worrying Figures of People Now Engage in Vaping, Warns Global Health Authority
More than 100 hundred million individuals, including at minimum 15 million minors, currently utilize e-cigarettes, driving a recent surge of nicotine habit, as stated by latest international public health reports.
Children are, on average, nine times more inclined than adults to engage in vaping, according to available international data.
E-cigarettes are propelling a "recent wave" of nicotine addiction, remarked a senior health official. "They are advertised as damage limitation but, in reality, are addicting youth on nicotine sooner and threaten undermining years of improvement."

"Millions of citizens are quitting, or refraining from tobacco usage thanks to tobacco regulation initiatives by states across the planet," he stated.
"In response to this significant advancement, the tobacco sector is resisting with recent nicotine products, aggressively focusing on youth. Governments must take action more rapidly and more vigorously in enacting tested tobacco-control regulations," the representative added.

Frequency of tobacco consumption among females decreased the most - from 11% in 2010 to 6.6% in 2024.
Among males, the drop was from 41.4% in 2010 to 32.5% in 2024.
But a fifth of adults internationally yet consumes tobacco.
