Guyana will soon ban the importation of vapes and vaping products for recreational use.
That’s according to President Dr. Irfaan Ali.
In an announcement over the weekend, Dr. Ali says an order will soon be signed to address growing concerns about vaping among young people.
He says the order would be issued under the Customs Act, restricting the importation of all types of vapes except those approved by the Health Minister, the National Tobacco Control Council or the Tobacco Control Board.
He says the decision follows concerns by parents and other members of society about the widespread and unregulated importation, sale and use of vaping products in Guyana.
