Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh Raises Concerns Over Youth e-Cigarette Use
According to Newsday on June 17th, the Minister of Health of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Terrence Deyalsingh, expressed concerns about children using e-cigarettes during a routine session in the Senate.
He emphasized that current educational measures are far from sufficient to address this issue, and the government needs to increase efforts to raise awareness of the risks of e-cigarettes.
The Minister of Health pointed out that current educational measures, such as holding health seminars in schools and educating minority children about the dangers of e-cigarettes, are insufficient to curb this addictive habit nationwide. More comprehensive and in-depth education and policy interventions are needed.
The safety misconception surrounding e-cigarettes has encouraged more frequent use, particularly among young people. As adolescents are more susceptible to developing nicotine dependence, the Ministry of Health emphasizes the need to educate and implement policies to steer children away from e-cigarettes. The ministry calls on various sectors of society to strengthen regulation of e-cigarettes and protect the next generation from their harmful effects.
