Brazilian State Health Supervision Agency Intensifies Action Against E-Cigarette
Brazilian State Health Surveillance Agency to intensify enforcement against e-cigarette use at major events in Paraíba, including São João de Campina Grande.

According to Diario Do Sertao on May 7th, the State Health Surveillance Agency of Brazil (Agevisa/PB) announced that they will intensify efforts in June to crackdown on the use of e-cigarettes at all major events in Paraíba state, including the São João de Campina Grande festival.

 

Recently, the organization stated in an online meeting with the Public Ministry of the State and the Health Surveillance Agency of Campina Grande that the meeting marked the beginning of regulatory actions. This initiative aims to enforce a ban on e-cigarettes in large events to comply with federal and state regulations.

 

Since 2009, Brazil has banned the manufacture, import, sale, distribution, storage, transportation, and advertising of all e-cigarette devices. The state law No. 8.958/2009 strengthens legislation on e-cigarettes, and this law was expanded in 2022 with law No. 12.351, adding a fourth clause to Article 2, prohibiting the use of e-cigarettes and similar products in all public and private collective use places in the state.

 

Geraldo Moreira de Menezes, the leader of Agevisa, stated that while the use of e-cigarettes by individuals is not prohibited, these devices cannot be used in any environment.
