Urgent action needed to control e-cigarettes

Published : Sunday, 8 February, 2026 at 12:00 AM  Count : 742
Dear Sir,

At present, the use of e-cigarettes is rapidly increasing, especially among the younger generation. Many people believe that e-cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes, but the reality is quite different. The nicotine and other chemicals present in e-cigarettes can cause serious harm to the body, particularly affecting the lungs, heart and brain development. Over time, this can lead to addiction and have lasting effects on health.

E-cigarettes may seem appealing as a new trend or technology, but the value of good health is far greater. Therefore, it is our moral and social responsibility to take effective measures without delay. Controlling sales, raising awareness in educational institutions and launching public awareness campaigns are extremely important.

I urge government authorities and the relevant agencies to take strict and effective action to protect the future generation from this risk. Families and teachers must also support these efforts to ensure better results. Hopefully, the concerned authorities will act swiftly to safeguard public health.
