Implications of Mexican Court Decision on E-cigarette

The Mexican Health Ministry has criticized a Supreme Court decision prioritizing business interests over public health protection, stating it poses a significant threat to children, adolescents, and young people and violates Article 4 of the Constitution. The Ministry of Health has expressed objections to a recent ruling declaring a legislation banning e-cigarettes as unconstitutional. The Supreme Court's appellate division has passed a ruling draft proposing federal judge protection and safeguard for corporate entities affected by the legislation. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador plans to propose a law banning e-cigarettes before stepping down in 2024.
