Tobacco industry | New nicotine products targeted at African youth

JOHANNESBURG - A new front in the war against tobacco-related diseases has been opened.

That's according to Professor Lekan Ayo-Yusuf from Tukkies' School of Health Systems and Public Health.

He says the industry is targeting African youth.

Ayo-Yusuf says they are touting smokeless alternatives like e-cigarettes as safe.

This is despite mounting evidence of their health risks.
