The Department of Trade and Industry has been cracking down on some flavored e-cigarettes that are being sold illegally near schools in Metro Manila. Copenhagen, Denmark—The widespread use of alcohol and e-cigarettes among adolescents is “alarming,” according to a report released on Thursday by the World Health Organization’s European branch, which recommended measures to limit access.
The report found that 57 percent of 15-year-olds had drunk alcohol at least once, for girls the figure was 59 percent, compared to 56 percent of boys.- Advertisement - “These findings highlight how available and normalized alcohol is, showing the urgent need for better policy measures to protect children and young people from harms caused by alcohol,” said WHO Europe, which gathers 53 countries including several in Central Asia.
While smoking is declining, with 13 percent of 11- to 15-year-olds having smoked in 2022, two percentage points less than four years earlier, the report noted that many of them have instead adopted e-cigarettes, which have overtaken cigarettes among adolescents.
