💨 E-Cigarettes

In Colombia, the tobacco control law No. 1335 of 2009 classifies e-cigarette products as tobacco imitations, effectively banning the sale, manufacture and marketing/advertising of e-cigarettes. It is not illegal to use e-cigarettes, but there are bans on vaping in enclosed public spaces and on public transport.
