(MENAFN) The chief public health officer of the US, the Surgeon General, has called the use of e-cigarettes by children "a major public health concern".
In a report due to be released on Thursday, Vivek Murthy recommends more regulation and taxation.
His report agrees that e-cigarettes are less harmful than actual ones, but his concern is that the devices expose children to the risks of nicotine.
E-cigarettes are devices that turn nicotine liquid into a vapour.
