Critics have questioned the practice, with smoking or vaping strictly prohibited in stadiums, and especially in dressing rooms.
The issue is not limited to the violation of the law, but legal problems have also arisen.
The Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes (Peca) Act, 2019 prohibits the manufacture, sale, purchase, import, export and promotion of electronic cigarettes and vapes in India.
Violators of this law may be subject to fines and imprisonment.
