Electronic cigarettes banned in Venezuela: this was decided by the Ministry of Health, which for this purpose issued a resolution prohibiting the production, distribution, marketing and use of 'vapers' and similar products in the country.

The ban, according to the ministry, takes into account that "health is a fundamental right" and "obligation of the State, which will guarantee it in the context of the right to life", promoting and developing "policies aimed at raising the quality of life, collective well-being and access to services".

The government of Nicolas Maduro added that "all people, in general and without distinction, have the right to health protection, and the duty to actively participate in its promotion and defense, and to observe the sanitation measures established by law".

The ministry further explained that studies and clinical trials of doctors and scientists have come to the conclusion that e-cigarettes and other equivalent products "contain potentially toxic and harmful substances to health, increase the risk of heart disease, lung disorders, among other pathologies".
