Multiple Regions in Pakistan Call for Nationwide Ban on Selling E-Cigarettes to Minors

  After strict controls on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, other regions in Pakistan are also calling for a nationwide ban on selling e-cigarettes to minors.

According to recent reports from the Pakistan Nation, after the strict controls on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, other regions in Pakistan are also calling for a nationwide ban on selling e-cigarettes to minors.

Advocates believe that implementing a comprehensive and unified ban is crucial for fully protecting the health of the nation's youth.

The widespread popularity of e-cigarettes, often marketed through appealing flavors and stylish designs, has raised serious concerns among health professionals and policymakers. The adverse effects of e-cigarettes on respiratory health, as well as their potential to become a gateway to traditional tobacco consumption, have prompted decisive action from the provincial government.

Zeeshan Danish, project coordinator of the Pakistan Tobacco Control Alliance (CTC-Pak), stated that the decision to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province is a key step in the commitment to public health.
