India's Finance Minister says vaping is becoming a health risk and the government needs to curb the usage, especially among the youth.

big tobacco companies are targeting teenagers by marketing candy-flavoured e-cigarettes juicesMs Sitharaman said e-cigarettes were becoming an increasing health risk as they were being used as a"style statement", and not a tobacco cessation product.

It is also illegal to buy nicotine e-cigarettes or a liquid nicotine for personal use without a medical prescriptionThe move to stop production and import of electronic cigarettes is seen as dashing the expansion plans of companies such as Juul Labs and Philip Morris International. In China, Juul said on Tuesday its products were not currently available on e-commerce websites, days after it entered the market.More than 900,000 people die each year in the country due to tobacco-related illnesses. Advocates for e-cigarettes say vaping is far less harmful than smoking tobacco.

The ban will be imposed through an executive order, which is typically issued in India as an emergency measure when parliament is not in session.
