Worrying Number of People Now Vape, Warns Global Health Authority
More than 100 million people, featuring at minimum 15 million youth, now employ e-cigarettes, driving a new surge of nicotine dependency, according to latest global medical findings.

Vaping devices are propelling a "recent wave" of nicotine habit, stated a senior health representative. "These devices are marketed as risk reduction but, actually, are hooking children on nicotine at younger ages and threaten weakening years of progress."
Adolescents Being 'Focused On'
"Countless of people are ceasing, or not taking up tobacco consumption because of tobacco control initiatives by nations around the globe," the representative commented.
"In response to this significant progress, the tobacco industry is resisting with recent nicotine devices, actively targeting adolescents. Administrations must act quicker and more vigorously in applying established tobacco-control policies," he added.

And at least 15 million adolescents aged 13 and 15 presently vape, per surveys from 123 states.
