Modi also highlighted harmful chemicals that were being used in these products. He said there were little awareness about the dangers of e-cigarettes. Sometimes e-cigarettes found their way into the houses out of curiosity, he added.

Addiction to tobacco was extremely harmful for health and was very difficult to get out of that. People who consumed tobacco were vulnerable to diseases like cancer, diabetes and blood pressure, Modi said.
