Dejemos de evadir las soluciones al tabaquismo
El 30 de mayo, Día Mundial del Vapeo, representa una oportunidad crucial para enfrentar el tabaquismo de manera efectiva. En Argentina, sin embargo, las alternativas al cigarrillo que eliminan la combustión y son menos dañinas están prohibidas. Esto priva a los fumadores de opciones válidas que podrían ayudarles a dejar el hábito, a diferencia de otros países donde estas opciones están disponibles. A nivel mundial, hay 1300 millones de fumadores, 7 millones de ellos en Argentina. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de ellos no dejará de fumar, lo que resulta en 45.000 muertes anuales en Argentina debido a enfermedades relacionadas con el tabaquismo.

Life as a Criminalized Vapes Dealer in Buenos Aires
I’m visiting Natalia (not her real name) in Buenos Aires. She’s in her 40s, a middle-class university graduate who, like many women in Argentina, started her own business after losing her job. But unlike most, Natalia is considered a criminal by the Argentine government.
That’s because her business is selling vaping products. The government banned in-person and online sales, distribution and importation back in 2011, when ANMAT [...] issued administrative provision number 3226-11. Possible penalties, depending on circumstances, include seizures, fines and even imprisonment.
