Sanikommu prabhakar Reddy, the proprietor of Varalakshmi Tiffins, a well-known restaurant in Hyderabad, was recently detained for drug use and trafficking, raising questions about the scope of the drug trade. Reddy's decision to turn to drug dealing in spite of his lucrative business exposes a more serious problem. In a separate incident, two college students who were addicted to e-cigarettes and vaping obtained drugs from alumni in maharashtra and West bengal and sold them in Hyderabad. Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling vapor that contains nicotine and flavoring produced by a device designed for this purpose.

According to a report by the Think Change Forum (TCF), drug manufacturers are increasingly targeting teens by employing cutting-edge tactics like vaping. The students, who were connected to Amity business School and IBS college, sold e-cigarettes to their friends at other academic institutions. There were 71 participants in this illicit activity from various institutions. The Prohibition of Electronic cigarettes Act of 2019 forbids the manufacture and sale of electronic cigarettes in all forms.

The TCF report recommends educational strategies to stop student drug addiction. Experts stress the need of parents establishing clear limits for teenagers and the media's involvement in portraying vaping as a coping method. The addicted kids originally attributed their addiction to peer pressure and negligent parents during counselling, underscoring the need of proactive parenting and peer education.
