According to a report from Net Noticias on December 23rd, Commissioner Luis Carlos Tarín Villamar of the Mexican National Health Risk Prevention Committee (Coespris) stated that since the law banning the sale of e-cigarettes was implemented, there has been an increase in sales of these products on social media by around 15% to 20%.
The commissioner pointed out that after the new law was amended, there has been a significant increase in the phenomenon of sales through social media, estimated to be between 15% and 20%. However, it is unclear which department will be responsible for enforcement, as this is a federal matter and should be handled by the Federal Attorney General's Office (FGR). It is not yet clear if they will be requested to assist in strengthening enforcement measures.
Additionally, Net Noticias reported that e-cigarettes are not only being sold online, but also at mobile stalls. The media found the sale of e-cigarettes at mobile stalls around the cathedral, which were specially approved by authorities for Christmas celebration activities.
The lawmaker stated that this behavior constitutes a federal-level criminal offense, and authorities should pay attention to the sales activities at these stalls because they are the ones who issued the operating permit for the mobile stalls.
Due to the lack of operational guidelines, Coespris stated that they will continue to crack down on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors through vending machines based on existing cooperation agreements.
