WHO asks countries to take action to keep adolescents from tobacco and nicotine

The World Health Organization (WHO) released an information sheet regarding flavored nicotine products. They say flavors like bubble gum and cotton candy are the reason why teens are getting addicted.

The organization published “Flavor accessories in tobacco products enhance attractiveness and appeal” for World No Tobacco Day and asked governments to “urgently ban all flavors in tobacco and nicotine products.” They called flavor in those products “bait” for adolescents and uncover how they’re marketed to children.

WHO advises countries to take action to protect their youth.
