India is one of the few countries that has completely banned the sale of e-cigarettes to protect young people from e-cigarette-related harms.

Most popular vapes that are illegally sold in India come in nicotine strengths of 10 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, and 40mg/ml, so a 2 ml vape typically contains 10 mg to 40 mg of nicotine and allows for between 600 and 800 puffs. A 20 mg/ml vape, with 40 mg of nicotine, is therefore the equivalent of smoking one or two packs of 20 cigarettes.
