WHO wants to outlaw vaping and smoking in classrooms

  • To safeguard children’s health, the WHO has published Freedom from Tobacco and Nicotine.
  • Dr. Ruediger Krech underlined the importance of shielding children from harmful e-cigarette emissions.
  • Teachers, staff, students, and parents can utilize the guidebook to achieve tobacco-free campuses at their schools.

To safeguard children’s health, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published “Freedom from Tobacco and Nicotine: Guide for Schools” and “Nicotine- and Tobacco-free School Toolkit.”

The WHO highlighted how the tobacco industry specifically targets young people with tobacco and nicotine products, which has increased e-cigarette use.

Smoking in classrooms

Through the sale of single-use cigarettes and e-cigarettes, which often don’t come with health warnings, the goods have also become more reasonably priced. US regulators issued a warning to businesses in August to stop marketing illicit e-cigarettes that resemble teddy bears, cartoon characters, and school supplies to attract young customers.

Dr. Ruediger Krech, WHO’s Director of Health Promotion, underlined the importance of shielding children from harmful e-cigarette emissions, lethal secondhand smoke, and advertisements for these products.

Teachers, staff, students, and parents can utilize the guidebook and toolbox to achieve tobacco- and nicotine-free campuses at their schools.

It identifies four ways to create an environment where young people can live without access to nicotine and tobacco: prohibiting the sale of nicotine and tobacco products close to schools; outlawing direct and indirect advertising; discouraging the promotion of nicotine and tobacco products close to schools; and declining sponsorship or involvement with the tobacco and nicotine industries.
