MEXICO CITY (apro) – President Andrés Manuel López Obrador will send a reform initiative to ban the commercialization of vapers.
“Mr. (Javier) Laynez, here I take advantage of this, has just resolved that it is legal to sell and distribute vapers, which have been proven harmful to health. They have already resolved in an injunction that they can commercialize because they put the commercial aspect first and forget about health,” he said.
The proposal will be launched before the end of the year, “I am going to send a bill to ban vapers because I will not be an accomplice to something that seriously harms young people. It destroys their respiratory system and many interests are at stake, a lot of money”.
Referring to the Judicial Power, he also took the opportunity to say that it was shameless that they do not want to stop earning between 600 and 700 thousand pesos per month, besides the fact that it is a shame that they do not want to contribute the 15 billion from the trusts to be destined to the victims in Acapulco, which, he said, has to do with the dignity of that power due to the letter sent by the president of the Court to express her agreement with that destination for the resources.
“First the president of the Judicial Power, and that has to do with dignity, sent me a letter telling me that she saw well our proposal that this money be used to support the victims of Acapulco” and added that then the warrant began.
“To the extent that Mr. Laynez, who is now the most tenacious defender of causes that have to do with corruption, now says that this trust fund is theirs, minister of the Court, judge, and party because it was a decision of the legislative power, of an autonomous power, of the Chamber of Deputies that has the exclusive power according to the constitution to approve the budget and no, in a creatine way they say no”, he pointed out.
