Latching on to an emerging global trend, the Indian government on September 18 banned e-cigarettes, citing health risks to youth and children. The ban covers the manufacture, sale, import, export, and advertising of all electronic nicotine delivery systems, or Ends.
These devices were already banned in 25 countries, including Brazil and Singapore, while 17 others regulate their production, sale and use. On September 17, New York City prohibited the sale of flavoured e-cigarettes and vapes.
