Heat-not-burn and e-cigarettes or vaping is a new weapon to get the young generation addicted, which is a serious threat to them.
Tobacco companies are cleverly marketing these products to the youth.
Therefore, to protect the young society of the country, e-cigarettes or vaping should be banned now, said Dhaka Ahsania Mission, reports UNB.
This demand was announced in a human chain titled ‘Ban e-cigarettes and vaping’ organized by the health division of Dhaka Ahsania Mission in front of the National Press Club on Saturday.
Speakers at the human chain quoted the World Health Organization as saying that all emerging tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, have been identified by the World Health Organization as products of deadly harm to health.
E-cigarettes have even been cited as a gateway to using tobacco products. Cancer-causing ingredients are also present in these e-cigarettes.
The speakers also said that the tobacco company has always used various tactics to harm the public health of the country.
Currently, they are importing e-cigarettes into the country.
They also said that they are campaigning with various strategies to encourage e-cigarettes among the youth.
Tobacco companies must stop this inaction.
All types of vaping products, including e-cigarettes, must be banned to save the population.
Besides, the tobacco control laws should be strengthened.
