The Indian government announced that it has banned the selling of all e-cigarettes and products related to it as they are extremely injurious to health, but Tobacco cigarettes sale will commence in the normal manner. This hasn’t settled well with the people,

Why Ban e-cigarettes?

Over the years, e-cigarettes have grown in popularity and have become the preferred choice or form of smoking as they are believed to be much safer as compared to Tobacco cigarettes. Contrary to popular belief e-cigs are equally dangerous even though they don’t expose the user to the same chemical contaminants found in a normal cigarette rather they may expose the user to higher levels of nicotine than normal.

Anyone caught violating this ban will be heavily penalized

Other Countries Are Banning Them Too

While others feel it’s quite the opposite, actually cigarette smokers are turning to vaping to help themselves with their smoking addiction to reduce it to a manageable level. Besides vaping is much more costly and non-smoker will get up and start smoking immediately.
