Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on 21 October that amendments to the law banning the use of e-cigarettes are being worked on and are expected to be approved later this year, according to El Universal.
The President held a morning meeting at the National Palace, known as the Mañanera del Pueblo, where he said: "The approval process is underway and we hope that all the reform proposals presented on 5 February will be implemented."
She explained that although the electoral reform proposed by former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador did not pass in committee, some aspects of the reform are still being considered. While the core of the original proposal remains unchanged, one of the most notable elements under consideration is the proposed ban on e-cigarettes.
Claudia indicated that she plans to invite the Minister of Health to join the discussion in order to move this important reform forward.
She said: "Regarding the e-cigarette reform plan, it is essential that this reform is passed. If you agree, we can invite the Health Secretary to be part of the process. Starting next month, we will resume weekly safety and health reports on Tuesdays during the Morning News Conference. We are also working to develop a comprehensive health and prevention plan.
In addition, on 13th August the Constitutional and Legal Committee of the Mexican Chamber of Deputies approved a bill to ban the production, distribution, sale and even use of e-cigarettes and similar devices.
