According to reports from Brazilian mainstream media on May 21, former director of Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) Dirceu Barbano stated that the ban on e-cigarettes in Brazil is now invalid, as the initial barriers that were set up have disappeared.
Baba Nuo stated, "The ban was once seen as an effective public health measure because people believed it was a barrier to e-cigarettes. However, today, this idea is no longer valid as it is more likely to hinder the consumption of e-cigarettes.
On the 21st, Babano issued this statement at a joint public hearing of the Senate Committees on Economic Affairs, Social Affairs, and Transparency, Governance, Regulation, and Consumer Protection. The hearing focused on the regulation of e-cigarettes.
In this discussion, Law Project 5.008 shows that the proposing party of the project is Senator Soraya Thronicke. Babano was a signatory of the 2009 RDC Resolution 49, which prohibits the sale, import, and promotion of any e-cigarette devices.
For the former director, what is needed now is a regulation to effectively control the use of e-cigarettes. A hearing will be held approximately a month after Anvisa decided to maintain the ban on e-cigarette devices, a decision signed by current president Antonio Barra Torres on April 19th.
