Yo no estoy tan seguro de que sea un disparate. En Reino Unido está prohibido vender vapeadores a menores, pero 1 de cada 4 adolescentes de 11-14 los siguió usando. En 2025 se endurecerán las medidas: gov.uk/government/news/gover…

Ban on sale and supply of single-use vapes in England to come into force on 1 June 2025

Creíamos haberlo visto todo, y nos vuelven a sorprender. Morena propone sancionar a cualquier persona que use UN VAPEADOR. La prohibición en menores de edad hace mucho sentido, pero la propuesta de morena es un disparate.
