The World Heart Federation recommends applying the precautionary principle and a set of measures to protect vulnerable populations, prevent exposure to second-hand smoking, and address misleading claims. In this regard, we recommend that governments, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders enact or support the following measures, among others: Prohibit the sale and distribution of e-cigarettes to minors, as well as the use of flavouring agents. Prohibit the use of e-cigarettes anywhere tobacco cigarettes have been banned. Prohibit marketing, advertising, and misleading claims regarding e-cigarettes. Apply excise taxes on e-cigarettes. Conduct more research regarding the long-term effects of e-cigarettes on cardiovascular health. Lastly, countries that have banned the commercialization of e-cigarettes should maintain these measures.Eduardo BiancoAndrii SkipalskyiFastone GomaHanin OdehKoji HasegawaMawya Al ZawawiMichal StoklosaRegina DalmauE Ulysses DorotheoFlorence BertelettiJeremiah MwangiYunshu WangUbiquity Pressarticleelectronic cigarettee-cigaretteelectronic nicotine delivery systemsendsvapingcardiovascular diseasecvdrisk factorcardiovascular healthpublic healthtobacco controlpolicyregulationDiseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) systemRC666-701Public aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENGlobal Heart, Vol 16, Iss 1 (2021)
