近年来，全球电子烟使用人数持续增长，尤其是青少年和儿童。世界卫生组织（WHO）12 月 14 日敦促各国政府严控电子烟，指出电子烟对健康有害，并可能导致儿童和年轻人对尼古丁上瘾。
根据路透社报道，WHO 指出，尽管电子烟的使用在一些国家得到了一定程度的控制，但仍有超过 1.5 亿青少年和儿童吸烟。电子烟中含有尼古丁，这是一种有毒的化学物质，对人体有害。尼古丁可以导致上瘾、心情低落、焦虑、失眠等健康问题。
“我们非常担心电子烟对青少年和儿童的影响。电子烟不仅损害他们的身体健康，还可能导致他们对尼古丁上瘾，影响其未来发展。”WHO 总干事谭德塞博士表示。
为应对电子烟问题，WHO 建议政府采取措施，包括限制电子烟广告、增加烟草危害信息、加强监管等。此外，应鼓励人们戒烟，特别是对青少年和儿童。戒烟不仅对个人健康有益，还可以为社会带来经济利益，例如降低医疗费和失业率。

In recent years, the global numbers of e-cigarette users have been increasing, especially among children and teenagers. The World Health Organization (WHO) urged governments on December 14 to strictly control e-cigarettes, pointing out that e-cigarettes are harmful to health and can lead to nicotine addiction among children and teenagers.
According to Reuters, the WHO stated that although e-cigarette use has been somewhat controlled in some countries, more than 150 million children and teenagers smoke. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, a toxic chemical substance, which can cause harm to the body. Nicotine can lead to addiction, depression, anxiety, insomnia and other health problems.
“We are very concerned about the impact of e-cigarettes on children and teenagers. E-cigarettes not only harm their physical health but also lead to nicotine addiction, affecting their future,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO.
To address the e-cigarette issue, the WHO recommends measures such as limiting e-cigarette advertising, increasing tobacco harm information, and strengthening regulation. In addition, efforts should be made to encourage smoking cessation, especially among children and teenagers. Quitting smoking not only benefits individual health but also brings economic benefits, such as reducing healthcare costs and unemployment rates.
