Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag has caused a stir by being caught vaping in the dressing room during a live broadcast of an IPL match against Punjab Kings. This incident violates the Prohibition of Electronic Cigarettes Act (PECA) 2019, which bans the production, sale, and use of e-cigarettes in India. Parag's actions have drawn criticism from IPL and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials, who labeled it a careless act, especially with cameras constantly monitoring the players. A source noted that while many players use e-cigarettes, they typically avoid doing so in public or visible settings. This incident comes amidst ongoing discussions about player privacy in dressing rooms, which were highlighted at a recent IPL Captains Meeting. The meeting addressed concerns over camera access to dressing rooms, particularly when players may not be fully dressed. Experts warn that vaping, while potentially less harmful than traditional smoking, still poses serious health risks due to nicotine addiction. Parag's actions not only risk legal repercussions but also set a poor example for fans and aspiring athletes.
