Friendship Day Exploited to Promote Vaping: Youth Targeted

The promotion of e-cigarettes has taken an aggressive form. Vape traders are now using popular occasions such as Friendship Day to promote vaping among the youth as an alternative to cigarettes. It should be noted that a total of 32 countries have already banned vaping considering its detrimental effect on public health. Bangladesh has also taken measures to amend its tobacco control law to ban the import, sale, and marketing of e-cigarettes and vape products. The draft amendment should be finalized to protect the youth.
