Trascrivo e riporto la notizia che mi è arrivata via email:
Over 200 exhibitors, including manufacturers of electronic cigarettes, e-liquids, vaping devices and accessories came to Vape Expo India, only for it to be cancelled.
Vape Expo India 2017 was set to be the 1st conference involving India’s e-cigarette industry. This is a big deal, as the sheer population size of India could make it a huge market for the vaping industry. It has been said by vape industry experts and India Government Officials, “If 10% of Indian smokers switch to vaping, it will mean close to 11 million vapers".
Yet, according to Vaping Post, the government of India is not at all supportive of the vaping scene, as they did not allow a permit for the organizers to hold the trade show in the capital. The Greater Noida authorities have withdrawn the permission given to the exhibition at Indian Exposition Mart on September 9-10.
India has been a large source of revenue for Big Tobacco since much of the more developed nations have ditched the deadly habit, 3rd world countries were the likely targets for the tobacco industry. However, India has steadily removed itself from being labeled as 3rd world and already has a large portion of the population tossing the cancer sticks aside by choosing to switch to healthier alternatives, such as e-cigs and other vape devices.
India’s government stands to make a substantial amount of money off tax revenue due to the nature of the convoluted tax system in India, and we can only assume that this is the motive behind the government's move to curb the vaping industry in India.
