Brazilian State Drug Committee Discusses E-cigarette Regulation with Federal Tax Agency
Brazilian state drug committee Coned discusses e-cigarette regulation with federal tax agency to combat smuggling, emphasizing importance of cooperation.

According to Agenciapara's report on October 9, the State Drug Commission of Brazil (Coned) met with the Federal Revenue Service on Tuesday (8th) to discuss the regulation of e-cigarette use.


Con Edison Vice President Edwin Junior emphasized the importance of collaborating with the federal tax agency to regulate e-cigarettes. Edwin stated that since these products are unauthorized and have not received appropriate regulatory approval, they are considered contraband and must be managed and disposed of by the federally mandated tax agency.


Regional representatives Clédis Souza and Charles Miranda from the Federal Revenue Service stated that the number of confiscated e-cigarette devices in the second tax district, including the state of Pará, has increased. In 2023, over four thousand devices were seized, and approximately 15,000 devices have been confiscated in the first eight months of this year.


It is reported that Coned is currently organizing preliminary work to implement comprehensive surveillance across the state, and has received support from the Consumer Protection and Defense Bureau (Procon Pará).
