Dr Emadeldin Ibrahim, Consultant Pulmonologist at Medcare Hospital Sharjah joins the show to discuss a new global health challenge, in the form of vaping.
In the West, vaping is increasingly targeting children as consumers.
Vapes are the not-so-new toys but they are ubiquitous, from school toilets to the malls, impressionable children are experimenting with it as casually as wearing a pair of shoes. Pre-teens on the smoking bandwagon, what were we thinking? Add the teenagers and it is an epidemic.
The UK is now cracking down on the sale of disposable e-cigarettes to curb its usage among children. It will ban the sale of one-time-use vapes which though illegal under the age of 18, have been freely consumed, not unlike global trends.
