WHO calls for urgent action to ban flavoured tobacco, nicotine products

The World Health Organization (WHO) urges governments to ban all flavors in tobacco and nicotine products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and hookahs, on World No Tobacco Day. Flavors like menthol and bubble gum mask the harshness of these products, attracting youth and hindering quitting efforts.

The WHO publication highlights how flavors and accessories are marketed to bypass regulations. While some countries have banned flavored tobacco and e-cigarettes, flavor accessories remain largely unregulated.
