China News Service Johannesburg, November 8th (Reporter Wang Xi) Experts from South Africa Respiratory Diseases and Professor Richard Vanzil Smith of Cape Town disclosed in a news broadcast program on the 8th that South Africa is currently in a news broadcast program. The trend of adolescent groups to absorb electronic cigarettes is worrying.


Smith said that the survey showed that more than 25%of college students in the wealthy areas of South Africa have the habit of taking electronic cigarettes. What is even more worrying is that this phenomenon has begun to gradually expand to middle school students, and even some junior high school students have begun to try to suck electronic cigarettes.


Smith pointed out that although eating electronic cigarettes is largely due to social needs, the survey shows that many students use electronic cigarettes to deal with stress and anxiety. Especially in the high school stages, the huge academic and examination pressures have led them to sucking electronic cigarettes to help them cope with the reality test. However, this has led many students to show signs of addiction to nicotine.


In addition, in South Africa, the advertisements of electronic cigarettes are often healthy "as a selling point, and the advertising style is more likely to be accepted by young people, so that more and more young people are trying to try electronic cigarettes on the grounds of harmlessness.


"A large number of teenagers are an unimaginable thing for Nicotine's addiction. We must take action." In this regard, Smith called on the South African government and its related social groups to strengthen the necessary supervision of the country's electronic cigarette market. He pointed out that although the dangers of electronic cigarettes are less than normal cigarettes, it is necessary to prevent the continuous increase of adolescent group addiction to electronic cigarettes.
