Last summer, the Federal Ministry of Health formulated the "E-Cigarette Prohibition Regulations 2019" for review, and in January 2020 passed a bill to replace this regulation in Le Sabah. The latter formally prohibits production, trade, transportation, storage and advertising throughout India.


At the same time, consistent with countless arguments from experts on smoking bans and public health around the world, local doctors pointed out that the government should conduct more research before smoking bans. Dr. Bharat Gopal, a senior pulmonologist and director of the National Thoracic Center in Delhi, said: “The UK has data on e-cigarettes as smoking cessation devices, so research in India should be conducted by the government and health organizations.”


The project is entitled "Tobacco Models and E-cigarette Use Status in India: A Cross-sectional Survey of 3000 Vapers in 8 Indian Cities". The purpose is to obtain data on the characteristics and tobacco behavior profiles of Indian e-cigarette users.


Interview-based surveys were conducted in the 8 largest cities in India, and a total of 3,000 subjects were recruited. The eligibility criteria for participation is current e-cigarette users who are over 18 years old.

"A total of 3,000 e-cigarette users (81.4% males, 18.6% females, and an average age of 29) participated in this study. Most people (80%) were exposed to nicotine for the first time through smoking, smokeless tobacco (SLT) or Both. Most of the subjects (79%) believe that e-cigarettes are less harmful than smoking.

At the same time, a recent report in India indicated that despite the e-cigarette ban, people can still buy e-cigarette products from any Paan (local tobacco) store or online. The only difference is that official brands and high-quality brands can no longer be found, so young e-cigarette users resort to cheap and low-quality versions.

Samrat Chowdhery from the Indian Electronic Cigarette Association said that all countries that ban e-cigarettes, including Mexico, Brazil and Thailand, have seen The booming black market.


“Because all other forms of nicotine can be used, it is difficult to enforce regulations. Official participants in the production of e-cigarettes are withdrawing from the market. Once the black market industry gains a foothold, it is impossible to gain control. The government missed the opportunity to regulate these products ."He says.
