You can do this openly in India but vaping is a crime!! 😂😂😂 @PMOIndia @RahulGandhi https://t.co/S0Mv3bK91D

We already know most physians (globally) misindetify nicotine as main cause of harm from smoking. Now we find most policy experts are ill-informed too. This is a deadly mix that will cost lives. @PMOIndia @JPNadda @mpprataprao @drshalini_icmr @RahulGandhi https://t.co/UhZBhFhKTA

Finally a factual article which correctly identifies that the vape law (PECA) does not even mention use and possession of vapes, leave alone ban them. Well done! @AneeshaMathur @India_NHRC @kharge @NITIAayog @mohfw_India @PMOIndia https://t.co/NHORIaTFql

India's new GST regime, despite raising tax on cigarettes, has had little impact on stock prices of tobacco firms which remain in buy zones coz overall tax has actually come down. Meanwhile vaping, the least harmful way to inhale nicotine, remains banned.

.@India_NHRC is seeking complaint over a vaping (least deadly nicotine product) scene on Netflix when every second ad during Asia Cup cricket match is a surrogate gutka (deadliest, 350k deaths/yr) ad. 'Bolo zuban kesri'. @PMOIndia @JPNadda @TOIMumbai @RahulGandhi @DghsIndia @ANI

Our landmark new report shows safer nicotine alternatives are preventing disease & saving lives worldwide. 🇸🇪 Sweden, 🇯🇵 Japan, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇳🇿 New Zealand = proof that harm reduction works. At #COP11, @WHO can embrace the evidence or waste millions of lives. 👉 https://t.co/iD0Ac3hDpT

Smart harm-reduction tools like pouches have eased Sweden’s healthcare burden. Thanks for defending that practical, life-saving approach, @AckoAnkarberg

Op-ed by @drshalini_icmr leans heavily on alarmist rhetoric while glossing over key distinctions like dual use vs exclusive vaping, mechanistic vs epidemiological evidence, and harm reduction data. Public health deserves nuance, not moral panic. (1/2) https://t.co/eWVOBEFl2V

Vaping is 95% safer than smoking—yet banned. Science for sale, courtesy of Big Pharma. 💸🤑 @PMOIndia @vapeindia @RahulGandhi @JPNadda #THR @SamratTHR

More Indian doctors – Dr Pawan Gupta from BLK-MAX Hospital and Dr Sunaina Soni from AIIMS-CAPFIMS – are calling for harm reduction strategies, including regulated access to safer alternatives like vaping & pouches. @PMOIndia @JPNadda @kharge @RahulGandhi https://t.co/BLZwHYp1uw

When an unnecessary moral panic about far less harmful alternatives began & politicians and public health authorities forgot the actual goal: reducing harm.

In India you can drink, smoke, and watch kids learn to puff — no one blinks. Vape once and suddenly you’re a public enemy, ‘health concerns’ trending. Reality check: 8.4% of 13–15-yr-olds use tobacco; e-cig ever-use 2.8%. #PublicHealth @PMOIndia @vapeindia @JPNadda

Lawmaker claims vape ban didn't affect tourism in Singapore & Thailand, so it won't in HK too. FACT: Bans have failed in both countries – widely available across Thailand, prevalence is rising in Singapore. @SCMPNews @hkfp @rthk_news @tvbcom @thestandardhk

Hong Kong joins a dubious list of 21 nations that now criminalise smokers for making a safer choice. How long will human rights orgs sit by while the failed 'war on drug users' is repeated against 1.2 bn nicotine users, eroding their right to health? https://t.co/vuU3dPpDCy

Global vaping = $28B (2023) → $183B by 2030.🇺🇸& 🇨🇳 cashing in, building jobs, tech. We? Still pulling ~$8.7B/yr from cigarette taxes while demonising vapor. 😂So..burning leaves “progress,” but harm reduction,revenue growth are taboo? @PMOIndia @RahulGandhi @JPNadda @vapeindia

Burning dried leaves and inhaling tar + carbon monoxide = tradition 🚬. Heating liquid with fewer toxins = controversy 💨. Funny how logic works backwards when it comes to harm reduction #VapeTruth #HarmReduction @vapeindia

Through his research Greek cardiologist Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos found that some policymakers are making a tragic error in their assessment of smoke-free alternatives, particularly around flavoured vaping products. “Flavours aren’t a gimmick,” says Dr Farsalinos, “they are a

Finally, docs from India's topmost medical body, AIIMS, call for ending the vape ban. Hope others too heed scientific facts. @PMOIndia @AmitShah @nsitharaman @JPNadda @RahulGandhi @kharge @aiims_newdelhi @ICMRDELHI @NITIAayog @RijoMJohn @atulambekar https://t.co/7eyy0By0EQ

I write about the less spoken economic impact of India's vape ban, the obliteration of legitimate green businesses and handing over the category to black market. @PiyushGoyal https://t.co/bcb7Yt61AU
