Mexico bans Electronic Cigarette
I thought some might find this interesting.
My husband is going on a trip to Mexico next week and just called me to let me know that even if I wanted to go that I wouldn’t after reading this – LOL...
Apparently Mexico has banned electronic cigarettes. Mexico was the last place I thought that would ban it.

First ...
Great ... So why not ban tobacco cigs in general? At least you know it kills ...Be alert to the public that there is no scientific evidence that smoking is an electronic medical effective alternative to quitting, since there is no evidence of the efficacy and safety of the product. So we recommend not buying it.
Secondly ...
oi vey ...The consumption of nicotine causes respiratory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems, which can cause death from smoking.
P.S. = My PM Mailbox gets really full, really fast, so bear with me if it takes me a few days to get to your PM :) Don't forget, you can always contact us at info@puresmoker.com :)
Something doesnt smell right there.
Then again, Mexico must have one of the most mixed up governments ive ever heard of.
Ohhh Great I can walk up to anyone in Mexico and buy a Kilo of Crack ....... for breakfast but a Ecig oh no thats far too addictive !!
Its a Joke !!
What a ignorant society we live in !
well the article says the reason it is banned is because it is not an certified NRT though the mexican government thinks that that its what it is claiming to be. this can only be blamed on the people who marketed it incorrectly and proves that it should never be marketed like this. shame on suppliers who do this, they will ruin it for e-cig users. amazing that mexico can push through a law like this so quickly too.
i know what snuff is but does anyone know if my understanding of snuff is the correct understanding of the word used here ?

No not everywhere, because they are to busy bringing it up here
Wont matter anyway, soon they can all buy them up in the US, we should have all their citizens up here soon anyway. Im surprised theres anyone left now, hehe
To me, reading between the lines, it say's, Big Tobacco(pharmacutical) controls Mexico's govt. to the point of excluding ANY other means of nicotine alternative. Unless of course, they PAY $$$$$."
I will still bring my ecigs to mexico when I go, nobody gonna really know the govt. does not want importation, or use. Even if they did, they want my $$$$ more
there are a few motives for any country to ban them they are:
because the tobacco industry influenced the decision
because the pharmaceutical industry influenced the decision
because they fear the lose of revenue from tobacco taxes
because they use tobacco as a population control
because they are concerned about their citizens' health.
i really do not know which applies in this case and it would take some work to find out for sure.
