Indien ist bisher das letzte Land, dass den Verkauf von E-Zigaretten verbietet
September 20, 2019 -
Nach den Vereinigten Staaten ist Indien das letzte Land, das den Verkauf von E-Zigaretten verbietet. Es ist eine globale Bewegung, da es zu Gesundheitsrisiken durch Vaping gekommen ist. Das Verbot umfasst die Erzeugung, Import und Werbung von E-Zigaretten.
India has 106 million adult smokers, second only to China in the world, making it a lucrative market for companies making vaping products, according to Reuters.
The ban comes at a time when vaping is facing increased scrutiny in other countries.
The United States last week announced plans to remove flavoured e-cigarettes from stores, warning that sweet flavours had drawn millions of children into nicotine addiction.
Two states – New York and Michigan – have bans in place on flavoured e-cigarettes, as federal health officials investigate a handful of deaths and potentially hundreds of lung illnesses tied to vaping.
In China, online marketplaces Alibaba and JD.com have pulled vaping products made by U.S.-based Juul Labs from their offerings, just a week after they debuted.
