Mexico to Crack Down on Illegal Vape Sales with New Health Law

Mexico Poised to Approve Strict Vape Regulations: A Step Towards Public Health? Mexico City, May 29, 2025 - The Mexican Congress is set to consider a new health law that will significantly impact the sale and distribution of vaping products. This follows a growing concern over the unregulated market and the health risks associated with vaping, particularly among young people. The proposed law aims to address these concerns through stricter regulations and sanctions for those involved in the illegal trade. "In the upcoming extraordinary session of Congress, one of the laws we hope will be approved is the Health Law: Sheinbaum," stated a speaker at a recent press conference. This law will outline specific sanctions and mechanisms to control the sale of vapes, addressing the current lack of regulation and taxation. The speaker further explained that while the sale of vapes is already prohibited in the Mexican Constitution, the new law will provide the necessary secondary regulations and enforcement mechanisms. This includes specifying penalties and identifying the institutions responsible for oversight. The expected approval of this law in mid-June represents a significant step toward protecting public health and addressing the growing issue of unregulated vaping products in Mexico. The implementation of this legislation is anticipated to significantly curb the illegal vape market and promote safer practices.
