Crackdown on E-cigarette Devices in Brazil: Local Government Action
Brazilian government cracked down on over 40 banned items, including e-cigarette devices, in Campina Grande, imposing fines on merchants.

According to a report from Paraibaonline on May 30, the local government of Campina Grande in Brazil has seized over 40 different items, including e-cigarette devices, and merchants have already received penalties. These seized goods will be handed over to the federal police, and the merchants will be fined.

 

Our actions are aimed at enforcing the resolution of the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (ANVISA). In addition to banning the sale, import, storage, transportation, and advertising of e-cigarette devices, it also strengthens the prohibition of smoking in public or private enclosed collective places. Our goal is that by the June festivities (Festejos Juninos), the sale and use of e-cigarette devices can be suppressed.

 

The Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency has set up a fixed point at People's Park (Parque do Povo) and has deployed staff to monitor the sale and use of e-cigarettes. This work is part of the "Saint John's Day, e-cigarette ban" campaign, and similar activities will be conducted by the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency at People's Park in June.
