In an article published by The Times of India Health, Dr. Kapil Goyal, Consultant – Medical Oncology at RGCIRC, Niti Bagh, raises concerns over the increasing popularity of vapes, nicotine pouches, and e-cigarettes among young Indians. He cautions that these products are often mistakenly perceived as safer alternatives to conventional tobacco, despite containing addictive nicotine and other harmful substances that can adversely impact lung health, cardiovascular function, and overall well-being. Dr. Goyal emphasizes that early exposure to nicotine can lead to long-term dependence and may increase the risk of serious health complications, urging young people to make informed choices and reconsider adopting these emerging tobacco habits.
