Nicolas Maduro considers total ban on electronic cigarettes in Venezuela

epa10730217 Signs restricting and prohibiting access and sale of electronic products for smoking to minors are displayed at a popular vape, e-liquid, and disposable gadget store in Caracas, Venezuela, 30 June 2023 (issued 06 July 2023). The order of the Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro to evaluate the possibility of banning the sale of electronic cigarettes aroused the concern of sellers, who defend their use without opposing its regulation, and the expectations of the health sector, which supports the proposal for considering it preventive. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) stated that 'electronic cigarettes are the most common form of electronic nicotine delivery systems,' and that they 'threaten to upend decades of the fight against smoking.'
