Maharashtra has now joined a list of places which have banned ENDS products. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that taken into consideration the effects of ENDS which acts as a trigger in the youth to get addicted to tobacco, it should be completely banned.
Notably, according to WHO, ENDS contains a heat solution (e-liquid) to create an aerosol which has various flavours, usually dissolved into propylene, glycol or glycerin.
