The Indian government has decided to impose a ban on e-cigarettes. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in a press conference the government's intention to prohibit the production and sale of electronic cigarettes. It's worth noting that India is not the first country to implement such a restriction. San Francisco was a pioneer in banning e-cigarettes in the United States.
Controversy Surrounding E-cigarettes
E-cigarettes have long been a subject of heated debate. While users claim they are safe, doctors advocate for avoiding them to maintain good health. As a result of the potential health risks, many countries have already prohibited their use.
Rapid Rise in E-cigarette Use
The popularity of e-cigarettes has been growing rapidly among people. There's a common belief that vaping does not negatively impact health, leading to increased usage. However, a recent study has revealed shocking statistics, indicating that e-cigarette use increases the risk of heart attack by 56%.
The Dangers of E-cigarettes
Prolonged use of e-cigarettes can be extremely hazardous. They can lead to blood clotting problems and contain a high amount of nicotine, releasing toxic compounds similar to conventional cigarettes. It is said that nicotine can significantly increase blood pressure beyond normal levels.
