Dear MEL Topic Readers,
India e-cigarettes: Ban announced to prevent
youth 'epidemic'
Ban it before it becomes too popular. That is
what India’s government is trying to do with e-cigarettes. Production,
distribution, sales, and import of vaping product are going to be banned. Though
it is not clear whether the use of e-cigarettes is prohibited or not, it is expected
to prevent teenagers from developing an unhealthy habit because vaping is
considered stylish among young people in other countries, especially in the US. However,
it doesn’t affect to over a hundred million conventional smokers.
Indeed, however unhealthy a habit is, such as
smoking, drinking strong alcohol or sugary drinks, or eating junk foods, it is
seldom banned. It seems that politicians are reluctant to touch things and
customs that are already popular.
Interestingly though, it’s more difficult for
business leaders to be proactive than reactive.
Enjoy reading the article and think what it
takes to move politicians to stop global warming.
