Chile's New Vaping Law: Stricter Regulations Spark Debate

New Vaping Regulations Take Effect in Chile Santiago, Chile – New regulations on the sale and use of vaping products have gone into effect in Chile, sparking discussion and debate across the country. The law, which aims to curb underage vaping and protect public health, introduces several key measures. These include mandatory health warnings on e-cigarette packaging and a ban on their sale to individuals under the age of 18. Additionally, vaping is now prohibited within 100 meters of educational institutions. "It's important to control vaping, especially around schools," said Eduardo de la Iglesia, host of the radio show 'Siempre Pasa Algo,' which covered the new regulations. He also mentioned anecdotal evidence of people vaping in public places, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement. While some support the measures as a step towards protecting public health, others have concerns about the potential impact on businesses and individual freedoms. The coming months will show how effective these regulations are in achieving their goals and whether further adjustments are needed.
