According to Topmidia News on April 28th, Brazilian Senator Soraya Thronicke spoke out against the decision made by Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to maintain the ban on e-cigarettes. The Senator had previously met with major players in the global tobacco industry and advocated for regulation of such products.
Suraya emphasized that the ban will only benefit organized crime and goes against the principles of most developed countries.
Anvisa has brought the worst aspects of nicotine consumption to the people of Brazil.
The lawmaker expressed confusion over Anvisa's decision to maintain the ban on e-cigarettes. She tweeted, "We find this unanimous decision strange, at Anvisa, all resolutions are unanimous, this is too coincidental." She later posted another tweet stating, "Perhaps a public investigation can clarify these issues," sparking public skepticism about the fairness of Anvisa's decision-making. Currently, the lawmaker is being referred to as the "Tobacco Queen" by Brazilian media.
According to Anvisa, the injunction being maintained includes:
The ban on manufacturing, importing, selling, distributing, storing, transporting, and promoting all e-cigarette devices, including accessories, parts, and additives, will continue. Importing products into the country in any form, including personal luggage, remains prohibited. The approved regulations do not prohibit individual use.
