SEOUL, Oct 23 (Reuters) - South Korea's health minister said
on Wednesday he "strongly advised" the public to stop using
liquid e-cigarettes amid a global backlash against vaping over
growing health concerns.
    The warning comes after the latest move in countries around
the world pulling electronic cigarettes from markets as vaping
faces increased scrutiny.
    The United States this month said it plans to ban all
flavoured e-cigarette products, citing an alarming growth in
teenage use of the products.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL2N27216Y
