Mexico’s Supreme Court rules against unconstitutional decree banning e-cigs

The federal high court in Mexico ruled this week against the 2020 presidential decree banning vaping products after concluding that such prohibition violates the “freedom of trade”.

Seven out of the 11 judges of the Mexican Supreme Court (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación, SCJN) supported ruling against the article of the General Tobacco Control Law that prohibits the sale, purchase, importation, distribution, marketing, and production of products that are not a tobacco product but are identified with them.
