Chile: The Chamber of Deputies yesterday approved Bill 12626-11, which together with Bill 12632-11 seeks to equate all vaping products, regardless of their nicotine content, with tobacco products, regulating their sale, advertising and labelling. The bill was introduced four years ago, and received Senate approval in March 2021. However, it needs to be approved again by the Senate since the Chamber of Deputies proposed several modifications. Should the bill be approved, nicotine-containing vaping products will no longer be subject to the pharmaceutical regime.

Though scheduled debates on 2nd, 9th and 16th August failed to take place, the mere fact of the bill’s first appearance on the agenda may suggest a willingness to start pushing it forward. One of the signatories to the bill, Gabriel Boric, became Chile’s president in March.
