E-cigarettes around the world

The WHO advises treating e-cigarettes like tobacco, proposing flavor bans. This may impact tobacco companies like British American Tobacco aiming for non-combustible revenue. Vapes are banned in 34 nations, with enforcement challenges leading to black market availability. Seventy-four countries, mostly in Africa but also including Pakistan, Colombia and Mongolia, did not regulate e-cigarettes at all, according to the WHO report. In other nations, including key markets like the US and China, governments allow vapes but regulate their use.
