Nandita Das joins a distinguished group of influential role models, including Baichung Bhutia, Deepa Malik, Dutee Chand, Neha Dhupia, Kushboo Sundar and Kishwar Desai, who have been supporting Mothers Against Vaping in their campaign against the growing menace of vaping among children and young people.
Nandita's support will be important to combat vaping by children and young people. Her influence will amplify the efforts of Mothers Against Vaping, highlighting the urgency of addressing this health crisis and implementing protective measures against the use of new-age tobacco devices.
Joining the cause of Mothers Against Vaping, Nandita Das said, “The increasing prevalence of new-age modern tobacco devices among our children and youth should be a matter of deep concern to all of us. As a mother of a teenager, I worry about all children and hope they do not fall victim to such harmful addictions. The issue demands our immediate personal and collective attention. "That's why I wholeheartedly support 'Mothers Against Vaping' in their efforts to combat the promotion of devices like e-cigarettes, vaporizers, and heatless products."
“Today's children are intelligent and exposed to a lot of information. They are also vocal and rational. Therefore, we must logically explain to them the dangers of these types of devices that may seem attractive or "cool." They can come to their senses if we engage with them in a constructive and compassionate way. It's hard to avoid peer pressure at their age, so we need to find ways to boost their confidence and prepare them to make informed decisions. Let's support them in making healthy decisions,” Nandita added.
As Nandita joined her mission, Mothers Against Vaping highlighted a new danger for children and teens who vape. These children now face increased risks of exposure to uranium and lead. This type of exposure to new-age tobacco devices, such as e-cigarettes, vaping devices, and other devices that do not burn heat, can damage the brain and affect its development in children and adolescents.
Citing recent research published in the journal Tobacco Control, Mothers Against Vaping highlighted findings linking vaping to elevated levels of uranium and lead exposure. The study examined urine samples from vapers for the presence of uranium, cadmium and lead.
The research also reported increases in uranium levels found in vapers using sweet flavor categories. The report found uranium levels 90 percent higher among vapers who preferred sweet flavors such as fruit, chocolate or desserts.
There is increasing evidence that clearly suggests the detrimental impact of the use of new age tobacco devices among both children and adults. Unlike traditional cigarettes, which are typically smoked in a few minutes, these devices allow for long sessions of use. The ultrafine particles and chemicals found in the e-liquids of these devices pose risks of chemical poisoning to users.
