Israel Considers Banning E-Cigarettes Amid Health Concerns

Israel's health ministry considers banning e-cigarettes due to the rise of usage among teenagers and recent health concerns.

On May 5th, according to i24news, the Israeli Ministry of Health is considering a ban on e-cigarettes due to the increasing number of teenagers using them and recent health concerns.

A senior official from the Ministry of Health has stated that they are currently considering several options, including a complete ban on electronic cigarettes, a ban on flavored electronic cigarettes, or a requirement for graphic warning images on packaging.

In the year 2022, there was a 300% rise in e-cigarette usage among Israeli adolescents aged 12 to 14.

Officials announced that they will conduct research on all proposed solutions to understand their effectiveness and legal feasibility. Studies have shown that children are more susceptible to visual graphics compared to lectures or speeches explaining the health risks of smoking.

A coalition of health and child rights advocates in the Philippines said it supports Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa’s call to raise the legal age restriction for vape and tobacco products from 18 to 25. The group said scientific evidence shows that the brain of a young person continues to develop until the mid-20s, and that nicotine exposure during that period can cause lasting impairment in impulse control, learning, and mood regulation.
