WHO says e-cigarettes ‘undoubtedly harmful’ sabcnews

"People who quit tobacco can live longer, healthier and more productive lives," the WHO said.

While vaping exposes users to lower levels of toxins than smoking, the World Health Organization said the devices still pose “health risks” to users. “In most countries where they are available, the majority of e-cigarette users continue to use e-cigarettes and cigarettes concurrently, which has little to no beneficial impact on health risk and effects,” the report said.

But the WHO warned misinformation spread by the tobacco industry about e-cigarettes was “a present and real threat.” Restrictions on the use of e-cigarettes around the world is increasing. San Francisco last month banned the sale and manufacture of the products.
