Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador plans to present a law banning e-cigarettes and vapes before he leaves office in 2024, he said on 11 December, after the Supreme Court overruled his previous attempt to ban their sale, reports Reuters.
“It’s proven they’re bad for your health,” he said at a regular news conference.
Mexico has one of the strictest anti-tobacco laws in the world, having passed a law in January banning smoking altogether in public places – including on the street. Mexico has already banned the import of e-cigarettes.
