Brazil Senate Delays Vote on E-cigarette Regulation Legislation Again
The Brazilian Senate's Economic Affairs Committee postpones vote on e-cigarette regulation bill for the second time this week.

According to Carta Expressa on July 9th, the Brazilian Senate Economic Affairs Committee (CAE) once again postponed the vote on the bill regulating the production, marketing, testing, and advertising of e-cigarettes in Brazil this Tuesday (9th).


The vote on the bill has been scheduled for the meeting on June 11th, where Senator Damares Alves (Republican-DF) requested a postponement of the discussion, which was symbolically approved by the committee.


Today, the topic once again entered the CAE agenda, but due to a request from Senator Mecias de Jesus (Republican-RR) to postpone the discussion, the vote was postponed. As a result, this matter is expected to be on the committee's voting agenda on August 20th.


The bill was drafted by Senator Soraya Thronicke (Podemos-MS) and includes the submission of toxicology assessment reports to the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) when registering products, as well as registration with the Federal Revenue Service for manufacturing, importing, or exporting products. It also entails registration with the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro).


If the regulation is approved, the consumption of e-cigarettes will follow the same rules as traditional cigarettes, and the sale and supply of the product to individuals under the age of 18 will be prohibited.


Anvisa maintains its resolution prohibiting the manufacture, importation, commercialization, distribution, storage, transportation, and advertising of e-cigarette devices.

From Nicotine Salts to Cocrystals: China’s Shenzhen Huabao institute explores a more stable form for sustained nicotine release
From Nicotine Salts to Cocrystals: China’s Shenzhen Huabao institute explores a more stable form for sustained nicotine release
China-based Shenzhen Huabao Collaborative Innovation Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for a nicotine-ascorbic acid cocrystal, exploring a new solid-state form of nicotine. The patent proposes applications across e-liquids, heated tobacco sticks, oral tobacco, chewing tobacco and snuff. In nicotine pouch tests disclosed in the filing, cocrystal formulations showed less than a 6% decline in nicotine content after three months of accelerated storage and a release profile combining early-stage release with sustained delivery over 60 minutes. The filing reflects exploration of nicotine forms beyond conventional nicotine base and nicotine salts.
