電子煙的危害疑似擴大，CNN封殺電子煙廣告

CNN will no longer run ads for Juul or other e-cigarettes, following reports of a deadly lung illness linked to them.

繼電子煙被報道與一種致命肺部疾病有關之後，CNN將不再播放Juul電子煙或其他電子煙的廣告。

The Daily Beast reports that CNN Worldwide president Jeff Zucker announced the news at an employee meeting; the network also confirmed it in a statement to the outlet.

《每日野獸》網站報道稱CNN Worldwide的主席Jeff Zucker在一次員工會議上宣佈了這一消息，該網絡也在一次對各頻道的聲明中證實了這一消息。

However, it says the policy may change in the future as health agencies continue to investigate the disease.

但CNN說隨着衛生機構繼續對該疾病進行調查，未來政策可能會變。

“Given the recent news reports of serious illnesses and deaths linked to the product category and the subsequent warnings ... CNN has revised its policies regarding e-cigarette advertising, and will not air ads in this category effective immediately,” a spokesperson told The Daily Beast. The ban might be lifted if “new facts come to light” during the investigations.

一位發言人對《每日野獸》網站說：“鑑於最近與此類產品有關的嚴重疾病和死亡的新聞報道以及隨後的警告……CNN已經修改了關於電子煙廣告的政策，並且不會立即投放此類廣告。”如果調查期間“有新的真相浮出水面”，禁令可能會取消。

Juul and other e-cigarettes have been successfully marketed through social media. But Juul launched a multimillion-dollar campaign with TV, print, and radio ads this year.

Juul電子煙和其他電子煙通過社交網絡營銷的策略很成功，但Juul電子煙今年在電視、新聞報刊和廣播上投放了數百萬美元的廣告。

The Food and Drug Administration recently warned Juul that its claims — which present vaping as a less harmful or even “totally safe” alternative to smoking — were not legally approved.

美國食品藥品監督管理局最近警告稱Juul電子煙的說法沒有得到法律的批准，即與吸菸相比，吸電子煙危害更小，甚至“絕對安全”。

Six people have reportedly died from a lung disease linked to vaping, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 380 “confirmed and probable” cases have been identified across 36 states and the US Virgin Islands.

有6個人被報道死於與吸電子煙有關的肺部疾病，而且美國疾病控制與預防中心（CDC）報道稱在36個州和美屬維京羣島已查明380個“確診和疑似”病例。

More than 450 possible cases have been investigated. The exact cause of the disease is unclear — some reports have blamed illegally modified cannabis vapes, but health officials haven’t ruled out a threat from legal nicotine e-cigarettes either.

有超過450個疑似病例已被調查，確切病因尚不清楚，一些報道對非法改裝的大麻電子煙進行指責，衛生部門官員也沒有排除合法尼古丁電子煙的威脅。

The CDC and American Medical Association have urged people to refrain from vaping altogether.

美國疾病控制與預防中心和美國醫學會已敦促人們都不要吸電子煙。
