Is vaping healthier than smoking?
JOHANNESBURG - On 31 May 2025 marks World No Tobacco Day.
The day aims to raise awareness of the harmful tactics employed by the tobacco industry.
Experts are saying that despite widespread health warnings, many individuals continue smoking.
They say the nicotine industry is now targeting younger people with flavoured vaping products, which are misleadingly promoted as being less harmful.
According to International SOS's Global Health Advisor for Clinical Governance, Dr. Chris van Straten, the risks associated with smoking and vaping are the same, hence neither should be encouraged.
