According to a report from Tupi on January 9th, the mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes, signed law number 8,791/2025, officially launching a campaign aimed at raising awareness about e-cigarette consumption and cracking down on it at the city level.
The bill was introduced by city councilor Rosa Fernandes and aims to educate the public about the dangers of e-cigarettes through lectures, workshops, and debates. This initiative will allow non-profit organizations and institutions in relevant fields to participate, with the city government responsible for regulating the specific implementation of the activities.
According to data released by Ipec in 2024, the use of e-cigarettes has grown by 600% over the past six years, with nearly 3 million adult Brazilians currently using e-cigarettes.
