It is reported that the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has called for the prohibition of the use of disposable Electronic cigarette, saying that steam products are as addictive as traditional cigarettes.

"Since Electronic cigarette has only been sold in the UK since 2007, there is no long-term study," RCPCH said. We have less evidence regarding the long-term effects of these products on young lungs, heart, and brain.

It took decades for experts to fully understand the impact of traditional cigarettes; we cannot risk our children's health and wait so long for longer-term research

The smoking and health action data found that in the past year, the number of British children trying to smoke Electronic cigarette increased by 50%, and the number of children aged 11 to 17 trying to smoke Electronic cigarette increased.

"There is no doubt that disposable Electronic cigarette should be banned," Mike McKean said. There is absolutely no reason to believe that these cheap, easily available, and brightly colored entertainment products should be disposable.

Westminster's approach to solving this problem is not even consistent with our closest neighbors, and countries such as Scotland, France, Germany, and Ireland are seriously considering bans

In response to RCPCH's call, the UK Electronic cigarette Industry Association (UKVIA) said that although the problem of Electronic cigarette for teenagers needs to be solved, banning the use of Disposable product is not the solution.


"There is no doubt that taking strong and targeted actions against those who illegally sell Electronic cigarette products to children is the way forward," UKVIA Director General John Dunn said in a statement. "It is essential that no preventive measures for adolescents can harm adult smokers who want to quit smoking through Electronic cigarette and Electronic cigarette users who want to avoid smoking again."
