The rising prevalence of drug-laced vapes among youth underscores an urgent need for stricter regulation, innovative surveillance tools, and comprehensive education campaigns. Countries worldwide must collaborate to close regulatory gaps, ban flavored and online marketing, and implement advanced detection systems in schools and public spaces.
Failing to act risks jeopardizing the health and future of millions of young people, with consequences spanning mental health, physical well-being, and societal stability. As the vape crisis deepens, proactive measures—regulatory, technological, and educational—are essential to shield future generations from irreversible harm.
