A group of 53 scientists wrote to the World Health Organisation (WHO世界卫生组织) two days before World No Tobacco Day（世界禁烟日）on May the 31st. They asked the WHO not to make e-cigarettes a tobacco product. E-cigarettes help people quit smoking. They do not have any tobacco inside them. But they make people feel like they are smoking. Doctors say this is better for people's health than real cigarettes. But the WHO says e-cigarettes are like real cigarettes.

    The scientists said e-cigarettes help to reduce disease and deaths from smoking. They are a "low-risk product" that are "part of the solution" to stop smoking, not part of the problem. They wrote: "These products could be among the most important health ways of the 21st century, perhaps saving hundreds of millions of lives." They told the WHO not to control them. Researchers from the University of Chicago said e-cigarettes could encourage young people to smoke and mean that fewer people quit smoking.
