Public Consultation on Ban of E-Cigarettes in Brazil
Brazilian society will have the opportunity to publicly discuss the ban on e-cigarettes, according to Brazil's Anvisa agency.

According to an article in the Brazilian media on December 6, there will be an opportunity for various social groups in Brazil to openly participate in the discussion on whether e-cigarettes should be banned domestically. The Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) has published the schedule for the consultation in the Federal Official Gazette.

 

The Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency has announced that a public consultation will begin on December 12th and will continue until February 9th of next year. The general public will have the opportunity to submit their opinions and suggestions through an online form. At the conclusion of the consultation, the agency will release a report detailing the findings of this process.

 

Since 2009, Brazil has banned the production, sale, import, and promotion of e-cigarette products. Despite this prohibition, the sale of e-cigarettes remains common nationwide.

 

The Brazilian Medical Association (AMB) and the Brazilian Association of Lung Diseases and Tuberculosis (SBPT), among other institutions, strongly advocate for maintaining the ban on the sale of e-cigarettes. Their main argument is that despite e-cigarettes not containing most of the toxic substances found in traditional cigarettes, they still contain nicotine and could potentially create a new generation of chemical addicts.

 

However, the opposing department argues that this measure banning e-cigarettes has no substantial effect. They believe that there should be established basic regulations to regulate the e-cigarette market.
