The World Health Organization (WHO) has called for a ban on flavored vapes, urging governments to treat e-cigarettes similarly to tobacco and ban all flavors. This move threatens cigarette companies' bets on smoking alternatives. The WHO's call is aimed at stopping kids from getting 'recruited and trapped' by tobacco firms and preventing the harmful impacts of vaping, as some substances generated by vapes are known to cause cancer and nicotine addiction. The U.S. FDA and Customs and Border Protection have seized illegal e-cigarettes worth $18 million, including brands such as Elf Bar. The rise of vaping among youths has been labeled as an epidemic, with experts claiming that warnings about the trend were missed by the government.
