Distressing Reality: Mumbai School Students Show Growing Interest and Familiarity with E-Cigarettes
The study concludes that PECA alone is insufficient to address this complex issue. It calls for a comprehensive strategy, including targeted interventions that address peer pressure, online influences, and greater involvement of families to protect adolescents from dangers of e-cigarettes. A multi-faceted approach that includes education, legal enforcement, and community engagement is essential to combat this complex public health issue effectively.
