The regulatory body in Mexico has stated that advertisements on social media for the sale of electronic cigarettes or vaping devices are not the only means by which their sale can be detected. As a result, they have intensified their scrutiny of manufacturers and seized products.
The head of the Health Risk Protection Committee (Coepris) in Tamaulipas, Alberto Moctezuma Castillo, announced that they will be increasing their monitoring efforts due to complaints of illegal sales in other areas.
Last week we responded to citizens' complaints regarding the sale of electronic cigarettes in pharmacies. Although sales are prohibited, the pharmacies have obtained insurance and have begun the administrative process. Therefore, we are currently unable to provide more information," he commented.
The commissioner added that they also have information about the sale of these devices through social networks, which is the reason for their surveillance operation, particularly to prevent them from being sold to minors.
