Apple has declared war on vaping-related apps.
What now
The App Store has always prohibited
In June, Apple stopped accepting such applications, and recently removed them from the App Store. A total of 181 vaping-related apps were removed.
“We have updated our recommendations for checking in the AppStore to emphasize that apps that encourage or facilitate the use of these products are not permitted. As of today, these applications are no longer available for download,” the company said.
Users who have previously installed these applications will be able to continue using them.
Why?
This is due to studies that proveharm of electronic cigarettes. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thousands of people have become ill due to vaping, with 42 deaths.
“We make sure the app store isa safe place for our users, especially young people. We continually evaluate programs and use the latest news to determine risks to the health and well-being of users,” Apple said.
