Electronic cigarettes are not very popular in the land of elephants and maharajas. If until then, some bans had been pronounced in the country against the personal vaporizer, it seems that today the hunt is on. Between prohibitions and disinformation, India denigrates a method of stopping smoking which nevertheless continues to prove its worth.
KERALA: THE FOURTH STATE TO PROHIBIT THE E-CIGARETTE!
After Punjab, Maharashtra and Karnataka, Kerala is the fourth state to ban the production, sale and advertising of e-cigarettes. The move follows reports which indicate that the use of e-cigarettes could cause heart disease and cancer. Namely that last year, in December, the government of this same state had limited the sale and consumption of alcohol.
STRONG DISINFORMATION TO DEPRESS SMOKERS!
These bans are obviously not the result of chance and the country's media are also participating in this ambient disinformation. The newspaper " Indiatoday "Title incidentally in one of his articles" These horrible side effects of the e-cigarette that will make you cold in the back". In this article, we find a list of so-called "effects" of the e-cigarette:
- Vapers are less sensitive to capsaicin, a alkaloid content especially in the red pepper that induces coughing. Using an e-cigarette will make you cough less, which can be helpful (coughing can sometimes prevent choking or eliminating infectious agents).
- According to American scientists, e-cigarettes can damage DNA and cause cancer.
- The functioning of an e-cigarette can seriously affect your lungs due to the production of acrolein, acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.
- Five flavors of e-liquid including cinnamon candy, banana pudding and menthol can cause changes in the calcium level in the lungs and disrupt lung function.
With such reasoning, we understand better why India comes to ban e-cigarettes in a country which nevertheless has millions of smokers.
