Saudi youth see rise in e-cigarettes
The use of electronic cigarettes among youth and teenagers in Saudi Arabia is increasing, along with the spread of misconceptions that they are less harmful than traditional smoking. The problem is worsened by the availability of these products at various prices and alluring advertisements, especially for fruit-flavored varieties. International reports indicate that more than 15 million teenagers aged 13 to 15 worldwide use e-cigarettes, with health risks including respiratory diseases, pneumonia, nicotine addiction, and adverse effects on the heart and oral health. Experts have called for increased awareness and stricter regulation to curb their further spread, particularly given that over 14,000 commercial licenses are issued for tobacco product sales in Saudi Arabia, amid a rise in the number of devices and diverse markets.
