What the actual fuck Mexico. What basis is it even using for this vape ban? Have any harms been discovered of vapes yet? And no, the self-defeatism of the unscientific precautionary principle does not count, nor does media fearmongering by the media

I'd bet my 100w box that it's the same as always: Big tobacco lobbying, bribing and fearmongering.
