Up to now, Apple has pulled all vaping-related (电子烟相关的) apps from the App Store. The move comes after a group of vaping-related illnesses (result) in over 40 deaths so far and a previously (health) teenager needing a double-lung transplant to survive.
Apple has never allowed vaping apps on its App Store, enables people to buy vaping products. But in the past it did allow apps to offer (inform) about vaping or even allowed users to control the lighting or temperature of their vaping devices.
But that's all changed today. Apple will remove all 181 vaping-related apps its App Store today. Apple said: We take great care (treat) the App Store as a trusted place for customers, (particular) for the youth, to download apps. We're constantly evaluating apps to determine risks to users' health and well-being. Recently, experts ranging from the CDC to the American Heart Association have attributed a variety of lung injuries to (use) vaping products. We agree. As of today, these apps are no longer available to download.
People who have previously downloaded the pulled apps will still be able to use them on their iPhone iPad; however, developers will not (allow) to even push updates to those existing apps.
