Mexico issues e-cigarette ban On World No Tobacco Day this year, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced at WHO's celebration of tobacco control that it had signed A presidential decree will ban the sale of all e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products in Mexico. WHO representatives were on hand to present the Mexican President with an award for his recognition of "Mexico's leadership and unwavering support for strengthening tobacco control measures".

According to local media reports, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador banned "the circulation and commercialization in the United States of Mexico ... regardless of origin, electronic nicotine management systems, Similar systems that do not contain nicotine, electronic cigarettes, vaporizers that serve a similar purpose, and the solutions and mixtures used in these systems. The issued version of the presidential decree has not been found, so whether the decree also prohibits personal possession and use is currently unclear. Known. Given that Mexico’s Supreme Court has ruled that a previous ban on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products was unconstitutional, this ban is likely to be challenged in the same way. López Obrador (López Obrador) once issued a decree banning the import of e-cigarette products. The import ban was largely supported by tobacco control groups funded by WHO Bloomberg Philanthropies. The rationale for the ban is largely based on the outbreak of "evalI" in the US, caused by black market THC vape makers using dangerous vitamin E acetate to boost profits, and not related to nicotine e-cigarettes.

Mexico's World No Tobacco Day campaign is questioned and new sales bans are also based on unproven health threats. In May, Mexico's Federal Health Risk Protection Committee issued a WHO statement that e-cigarettes can cause "high harm" and are the "biggest health alert" for public health. Mexico has started the "stocking" mode. Although the ban has been issued, related products in Mexico are still being sold normally. Due to the possibility of being affected by the ban in the future, many local e-cigarette users have started the stocking mode. The same situation was formed later. In the city's first square, López Cotilla y Colón, many vape shops are still selling vaping products, mostly disposable and refillable, according to local media. The price is mostly between 829 pesos and 2,000 pesos, which is about RMB 280-680.

Local vape stores in Mexico are still operating as normal. Many store employees have heard about the ban, and stores are currently clearing their warehouses in response to the upcoming ban. Product sales have risen sharply, and there are not many products left. Many e-cigarette users also come to "sweep the goods" and buy as many of their favorite products as possible, especially e-liquids. Many vape shop operators said that after the president announced the ban, the business of the store has not been affected for the time being, and many vape shops are still operating as usual. At present, the price of 60ml e-juice is still between 120-170 pesos, which is about 40-60 yuan. With the increase in demand, the inventory continues to decrease, and the price should be raised in the near future due to the possible ban in the future.
