India says e-cigarette ban implies use of devices also prohibited via SABCNewsOnline

India banned the sale of e-cigarettes as it fears they could lead to increased nicotine addiction

India’s decision, however, did not ban the use of such devices outright and a senior Health Ministry official toldHowever, in a November 5 filing in a Kolkata court, where the government is defending two legal challenges against the ban, the ministry said it was “completely baseless” to say only the sale and manufacture of e-cigarettes and vaping devices was barred and not use.

“This filing goes against the Health Ministry’s announcements that personal use is not banned,” said Samrat Chowdhery of Association of Vapers India. He added India should add a clause to its ban order to exclude personal use.
