Ban on e-cigarettes in Brazil and risks to health

After the decision to ban electronic cigarettes in Brazil, many people have been trying to understand the reasoning behind the ban and determine whether or not e-cigarettes are harmful.

In the face of the risks posed by electronic cigarettes, the singer duo Zé Neto and Cristiano, who hail from Brazil's countryside, have sparked a lot of curiosity due to Zé Neto's lung complications.

Electronic cigarettes are a type of oily solution containing nicotine that, like traditional cigarettes, can lead to chemical dependency.

With the support of Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa), the Ministry of Justice has banned e-cigarettes. Anvisa's regulation has been in place since 2009, but in 2019, a regulatory process was launched to overturn the law.

However, in addition to maintaining the law, a clause has also been included that imposes a daily fine of 5,000 riyals on companies that continue to commercialize.

The Consumer Protection and Department of Defense cited electronic cigarettes as posing a risk to the well-being and health of consumers as the reason for their statement.

Furthermore, according to reports, the consumption of electronic cigarettes has experienced exponential growth in recent years, especially among young people.

One of the most well-known examples of the risks associated with e-cigarettes occurred with Brazilian singers Zé Neto and Cristiano, specifically with the former member of the duo, Zé Neto.

The singer experienced shortness of breath while singing and was diagnosed with "pulmonary ground-glass nodules" that required urgent treatment. Another term commonly used by experts to describe this condition is "ground-glass opacity.

The doctor claims that the issue was caused by e-cigarettes.

In a post on Instagram, Zeneito stated that he had to undergo treatment due to lung complications caused by using e-cigarettes.

Moreover, he has used his influence to warn fans about the dangers of e-cigarettes.

Sertanejo stated, "Due to e-cigarettes, I experienced severe pulmonary issues and I warn anyone using them to stop.
