Below is our detailed, referenced response to the above opinion piece published in The Hindu on August 26, 2024. The article, written by clinical psychologist Bhavna Barmi, exaggerates vaping harms with false claims and misrepresents data, which fans anti-vaping hysteria. We support well-conceived measures to combat teen vaping, but call for a pragmatic discussion and policymaking which also balances the needs of India’s 270 million adult tobacco users, of which 100 million smoke.
