According to Wradio, after four intense debates, the Colombian House of Representatives has finally approved a bill regulating e-cigarettes. The initiative was previously led by Senators Norma Hurtado and José David Name and had faced several unsuccessful attempts.
As e-cigarettes become increasingly popular in society, senators are concerned that these products will eventually be widely used by young people. The bill has been revised to amend the "Anti-Tobacco Act," subjecting e-cigarettes to regulations similar to traditional cigarettes, including restrictions on advertising and smoking in specific locations.
In addition, the bill also proposes other detailed regulatory requirements. From the date of its publication, the use of e-cigarettes or other vapor products will be prohibited on college campuses, sports advertising related to these products will also be banned, and packaging for these products must include clear warnings about health risks.
Currently, the bill still needs to undergo mediation before being submitted for approval by the president.
