Recently, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India issued a communication on the subject of electronic nicotine delivery systems and like devices to a total of 35 stakeholders, including all the Councils, ICMR, medical colleges, National Academy of Medical Sciences (NAMS), National Board of Examination (NBE), among others, among others.
The circular dated 5th May 2019 said, “Since the subject matter is sub-judice and pending before various high courts. It is requested not to publish any statement/ research paper/ document/ article/ report/ study etc as well as not to organise any consultation/ workshop etc on ENDS and the likely devices that enable nicotine delivery without prior consultation with tobacco control division MOH and FW. This should be brought to the notice of all concerned.”
The notice has been drafted very cleverly to create confusion.
The double bench of the Delhi High Court on 16th May rejected the government plea to vacate the single bench stay on the earlier government communication, a day before when the regular matter was to be heard. The regular single bench now has posted the matter in late August.
