Mexico's Vaping Ban Bill Set to Be Discussed in Congress Next Week

Nov.28.2024

The Mexican House of Representatives plans to discuss and vote on a constitutional reform bill banning vaping in next week's full congressional session, as part of a series of proposals from the former president.

On November 27th, the Mexican Chamber of Deputies announced on its official website that Ricardo Monreal Ávila, Chairman of the Political Coordination Committee (Jucopo), confirmed that a constitutional reform bill to ban e-cigarettes and vapes will be discussed and voted on during the upcoming full session of Congress next week.

The proposed reforms are based on a comprehensive proposal originally submitted by the former executive.

The legislator pointed out that once the constitutional amendment proposal regarding the ban on vapes is approved, only three out of the 18 to 20 initiatives proposed by President López Obrador will remain pending, including those related to food and water, fair pensions, and election reform.

He expects that the budget debate will begin on either December 3rd or 4th and will conclude on December 12th or 13th.
