Centre asks states to ban e-cigarettes, e-hookah, vape
The Health Ministry has asked states to ban Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) including e-cigarettes, heat-not-burn devices, vape and e-hookah. The ministry said such devices are a "great health risk" to children, adolescents, pregnant women and women of reproductive age. Children and non-smokers using such products could switch to cigarettes once they get addicted to nicotine, it added.
