- Title
Youth Smoking Trends and Derived Health Problems in Hong Kong.
- Authors
LI, William H. C.
- Abstract
Evidence shows that smoking has negative effects on nearly every organ in the body, accounts for the premature death of two-thirds of all smokers and is especially hazardous for those who start smoking at a young age. On the other hand, the use of electronic smoking devices including e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn tobacco products among the youth is on an alarming upward trend. There is an urgent need to promote smoking cessation among young smokers, otherwise they will be at great risk of developing smoking-related diseases later in life.
