Brazil's E-cigarette Regulation Project Excluded from CAE Meeting Agenda
Brazil's e-cigarette regulation project delayed in Senate committee, potentially generating $4 billion in tax revenue.

According to a report from Metro on September 4th, the discussion of the regulation of e-cigarette production and sales in Brazil, which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday (the 3rd), was not included in the agenda of the Economic Affairs Committee (CAE) meeting. The project was also not mentioned during the deliberations on the agenda for the coming days.


The vote on the matter was originally scheduled for August 20, but was removed from the agenda at the request of the reporter, Senator Eduardo Gomes (PL-TO). This senator has expressed support for the proposer, Soraya Thronicke.


Since 2009, e-cigarettes have been banned in Brazil by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa). Solonick's proposal aims to regulate the production, sale, export, import, and consumption of e-cigarettes. One of the reasons for approving the proposal is that it could bring in 22 billion reais (approximately 4 billion U.S. dollars) in tax revenue for the country.
