Hi,

Its been two weeks since I didnt light normal cigarette. Today, I called them for coil and they said they could not sell due to this ban

Im frustrated now. Decided to smoke again

Another sad story of how these crazy rules are forcing people that have only just recently quit, back to smoking.

I read earlier about another state in India banning vaping. I am so sorry. The world has gone crazy over a relatively harmless thing when there is so much else that needs tending to. I hope someone here will be able to offer you some help or advice.
Trouble is, vendor's know it's banned where he lives and will take out the shipping option to send there. The only way I can see it working is to use a middle man.. It sucks I know.

India, I was out there for 4 months on work (friend was out there for 6 month after me) I can say it is one corrupted places i had been in a wile. it does not Surprised me they band ecigaretters for a couple of reasons. 1, Less Tax on smokes, 2, Less jobs and the people at the side of roads selling smokes. I have to say in Bangalore i don't remember seeing one vaping shop out there from April last year thought to April this year same as my friend he also cannot remember seeing one.


I still find it stage going to a carpark at a shopping centre they they show u where to park (even walk in front of the car to the space) or you get in a lift and the guard there has to push the button.

Smoked regular cigarette today as I don't have any option. They tasted bad, again trying to get adjusted

Really getting angry :x

I can hardly see anyone who vapes here.. These leaders are playing with public health for their personal benefit. In turn, they are saying that they banned for public health. Tragedy

How ......ed do Governments think people are?
The decision has been taken on the recommendation of the committee on cancer prevention
No Major Health issues to Date in any Vaper and No proof of any Cancer causation.
He said a study was conducted by the committee with an NGO on e-cigarettes, which said large number of youngsters was getting addicted to it.
Addicted or Prefer? Nicotine without Tobacco has NOT been proven Addictive.
The myth of nicotine addiction - Formindep
Likely those likely to Adopt Smoking to begin with.<safer-Healthier choice>
It also pointed out that the use of nicotine in food products and consumption by public is banned under Food Safety and Standard Act 2006 and Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restriction on Sales) Regulation 2011.
So.....No Tomatoes, Eggplant, Tea in your country?o_O
IMA believes that e-cigarettes, though not as harmful as normal cigarettes, are not healthy and their use should not be encouraged.
Smokers Support the Country
Karnataka Budget: Tobacco, fuel, liquor set to be costlier
Tobacco Taxes at a Maximum acceptable level(keep what taxpayers we can, smoking)
Karnataka Budget 2016: CM taxes middle class, just as much as we can bear

The Lie of Health concerns is directly proportionate to the amount of Collectable Tobacco Tax.

Ironic, that India is a large supplier of of the liquid nic we buy.
Exports of Indian tobacco and tobacco products have witnessed steady growth. Exports rose at a CAGR of 9.0 per cent to US$ 918.9 million in 2014–15 from US$ 502.2 million in 2007–08.

Death for Profit:
Tobacco Industry- Tobacco Production & Cultivation in India, IBEF

The Tobacco Board assists tobacco farmers in securing crop loans, quality seeds, fertilisers and other critical inputs; it also counsels farmers on GAP to produce quality tobaccos to meet the evolving international demand.

chiefminister@karnataka.gov.in: Educate about use of electronic cigarettes, why ban?

Petition. I signed. Hope it does some good.

"A recent article published in TOI states the Karnataka government is planning to curb the consumption and sale of electronic cigarettes and impose a ban following the footsteps of Maharashtra, Punjab and Chandigarh.

Through this petition we would like to make you aware of the negative implications of such a decision in a progressive state like Karnataka, and how it will have a disastrous impact on health."

I have spoken to the seller today. He said they are planning to operate their business from other state where ecigarettes are not banned. So going forward we can place order and they will dispatch whatever I order through courier. This is somewhat good news for me

But if I need something urgently from them, I can't get. I need to wait for a couple of days. This gave me a necessity to plan things in advance. And I need to also keep some stock

Back ups and back ups for your back ups.

Also, get a rebuild-able topper so you are not as dependent on the shops.
