<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The iPhone maker made the decision based on research in the US attributing a number of lung injuries and fatalities to e-cigarettes and vaping products.</p>
<p>It has removed 181 vaping apps from the app store globally, but said apps already downloaded will continue to work and will be transferable to new device purchases.</p>
<p>According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 42 deaths linked to vaping have been recorded across the Atlantic.</p>
<p>Fresh fears recently came to light in the UK after a 19-year-old almost died from a “catastrophic respiratory illness” for which doctors said vaping was to blame.</p>

<p>While evidence continues to be published on risks associated with vaping, scientists remain divided – Public Health England (PHE) stands by its claim that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking.</p>
<p>Vaping apps – which Apple claims only accounted for 0.00010% of the 1.8 million apps on the App Store – vary from platforms to control things like the temperature of an e-cigarette device, to offering vaping news.</p>
