 "e-cigarettes")
Citing health hazards, the Tamil Nadu government has banned the manufacturing, sale distribution and use or possession of e-cigarettes under the category of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS). The decision follows the ban of manufacturing and sale of ENDS in at least 6 other states including Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Reportedly, a recent government order was issued to prohibit manufacturing, sale, distribution, import and possession of e-cigarettes. According to the government officials, the decision has been taken considering the health hazards as products have heavy metals and nicotine and can even cause burns and explosion.
