    No more vaping in India - e-cigarettes banned by Government.

    Advert.
    As per news Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman Wednesday said the Union Cabinet had approved an ordinance banning production, import, distribution and sale of electronic cigarettes. This decision to ban e-cigarettes was taken as they were a health risk to the youth.

    “The Union Cabinet has given the approval to ban e-cigarettes. It means the production, manufacturing, import/export, transport, sale, distribution, storage and advertising related to e-cigarettes are banned,” Sitharaman said at a press conference in New Delhi.

    Following the announcement, stocks of cigarette makers ITC Ltd and Godfrey Phillips India Ltd ended higher by 0.9% and 5.3%, respectively. India has 106 million adult smokers, second only to China in the world, making it a lucrative market for firms making e-cigarettes such as Juul and Philip Morris, Reuters reported.

    I shared it here because I actually got to know about vaping only after this news. Before that I never knew this word exist or its a thing. Although Govt. is banning it but interestingly there is no manufacturer for these in India yet, everything is being imported. There are many issues those need immediate Govt. attention but its surprising why this got Govt. attention ?

    Also, after this announcement, regular cigarette companies instantly got boost in Indian market. Anyways, like many others laws this will also remain law in books, such as smoking in public places was prohibited nationwide from 2nd October 2008 onwards but you hardly see it being implemented anywhere.
