Mexico’s new law to ban vapes passes major hurdle
Mexico's proposed vape ban, supported by lower house lawmakers, aims to combat health issues associated with nicotine addiction. Despite concerns about fueling the black market and hindering smoking cessation efforts, the ban is expected to pass in the Senate. Critics argue that banning vapes while allowing cigarettes could worsen public health and empower criminal networks. The proposed reform also includes restrictions on synthetic drugs like fentanyl. Advocates suggest regulating vapes instead and aligning their control with tobacco and alcohol standards. Previous attempts to ban vapes were overturned in court. The ban's implications on public health and criminal activity are under scrutiny amid ongoing legislative debates.
