Bharatiya Kisan Union seeks ban on e-cigarettes and vaping devices

The Bharatiya Kisan Union has become the latest farmers’ group to demand a complete ban on e-cigarettes and
vaping devices.
 
The ban on electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), commonly known as e-cigarettes, has been pushed by the health ministry since 2018.
 
“If e-cigarettes or ENDS are allowed in India, it will have a devastating effect on tobacco farmers. The main reason is that e-cigarette companies trying to open shops in India are of foreign origin and do not use Indian tobacco. In fact, the countries that these e-cigarettes belong to, such as the US, have also banned them,”
