2019 e-cigarette ban in India raises concerns over continued violations and minors' accessibility.
Dr. Sonu Goel, a public health expert, warns of the risks posed by electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), including increased likelihood of conventional cigarette uptake, lung injuries, and being a gateway to addiction. The Indian government banned e-cigarettes in 2019, preventing 24 million youths from potential addiction. However, violations of the e-cigarette ban continue, raising concerns about their accessibility to minors. Health and child rights experts urge for stringent regulations to protect the population from the dangers of e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco products.
