I graduated from India (Manipal to be exact)..and I have worked there for many years before I settled back in Malaysia...I considered India my Second Home(not China)....I loved the country for it's freedom and the love for good life.. at least the world best medical professionals is recognising it(our e-cig) as a better and safe alternative...GOD BLESS INDIA....

Hi Jim

This is very encouraging:

Although the biz guy, Mr Kumar, is more bullish "We are getting this from Hong Kong and this particular product is used to quit smoking using nicotine replacement therapy." the IMA member Dr Aruldas is also pretty blunt "patient can reduce himself from smoking level to non-smoking level by using this device". This is controversial and will be hotly-contested. But at least you're not alone any more, doc!

We badly need more medical experts in our corner, and it will be hugely important if we can get some hard clinical data from a non-industry funded study (although I must say Dr Laugesen is clearly his own man).

I'd be interested to know if the FDA referred to is the US body or an Indian one with the same acronym. I know the (US) FDA is taking a lot of interest in Indian and Chinese imports at the moment because of the upsurge in cheap online drugs (you know the ones - more joy in your stick for just $5). I've seen claims that the US FDA have certified our devices but I haven't had it confirmed by a source I trust.

Please, please prove my fear wrong on this .. I want to be wrong .. but I don't see anywhere in this article that India has approved e-smoking. I think this is a press release reprinted many times in many publications.

I do see one doctor quoted, but where is the statement from a national association of doctors? Where is a statement from a government health official? What I read here shows an appalling lack of research, something increasingly common as failing newspapers shed staff and rely on publicity handouts for "news".

njoy and Crown 7 in the States flood the press with publicity releases, hoping desperate publications will publish them. And some pathetic news products do just that, word-for-word. That's not news. That's advertising, but the difference escapes many less-than-savvy readers.

Tell me this is really an article saying India is welcoming e-smoking. That's what I want to read.

Sadly, I didn't have to look far to find the identical press release: Now, enjoy electronic smoking in India - Sify.com

Paste the lead paragraph into Google and you'll get 13 pages (330 identical stories) of hits on the same press release. So sorry this isn't what we want and need ...

India has at least open up to e-smoking..that what I want to hear from an Asian country...their health regulators are quite strict BTW but then wait for a while TB...I worked in that country before..the general Mass of the population there alone carries a lot of weight when comes to a good discovery like e-cigarettes....the onus is on the medical professions there..the idea that they will promote and hopefully also directly involved in manufacturing e-liquids will somehow tilt the general consensus towards acceptance and if such a large population country like India agrees to this then it will be a boon for all the world population as well...

My medical colleagues in India are more open minded..they will undeniably do a large scale trials and that will really push this battle into the stratosphere.....My sincere hope that the medical side will contact me if they need my help(I believe they are doing well on their own) and whether this piece of news is considered as an advert like..I do not doubt it's power..they can change things there....
