El resumen
The World Health Organization is calling on governments worldwide to shield young people from tobacco and nicotine addiction as usage rates climb among adolescents.[1][4] At least 40 million children aged 13–15 currently use tobacco products globally, while consumption of e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches among youth continues to increase.[2][3] The appeal comes ahead of World No Tobacco Day on May 31, part of WHO's broader effort to prevent a new generation from developing dependencies on these substances. The organization frames the issue as a critical public health priority requiring immediate governmental intervention and regulatory action. Youth tobacco use represents a growing challenge as newer nicotine delivery systems gain popularity alongside traditional cigarettes.[5] WHO emphasizes that protecting adolescents from addiction requires comprehensive policy measures and enforcement mechanisms. The campaign targets both conventional tobacco products and emerging alternatives that appeal to younger demographics.
