Protesters in Mexico Rally Against Proposed E-cigarette Ban

Dec.11.2024

Mexican e-cigarette proponents protest Senate bill proposing ban and penalties, arguing for science-based regulations instead.

According to Reporte Indigo, on December 10th, Mexican e-cigarette product vendors and organizations supporting e-cigarettes gathered in front of the Senate to protest with the slogan "Ban the Ban!".

On Tuesday, the Mexican Senate will hold a full session to discuss and vote on a bill that would prohibit and punish activities related to e-cigarettes and the illegal use of fentanyl. Protesters argue that the proposal will lead to the formation of a black market and criminalize consumers.

The organizers emphasized that their goal is to make lawmakers listen to their voices and promote reasonable regulation based on scientific evidence, rather than a complete ban. Juan José Cirión Lee, chairman of Mexico and the World e-cigarette organization, pointed out that this measure is infringing on the human rights of users of these devices.

We are not only defending e-cigarettes, but also defending freedom.
