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.
