Analysis

Resolution No. 855 of 2024 prohibits the use of any electronic smoking device (which includes HTPs) in an enclosed public place under the terms of Law No. 9.294 of 1996. Law No. 9.294 of 1996 prohibits smoking in the vast majority of indoor public places, indoor workplaces, and public transport. However, because there are a few exceptions to the smoking ban (including, establishments specifically set aside for sampling of tobacco products; places of religious worship when part of a ritual; studios for the recording of audiovisual productions, when necessary to the production; places intended for tobacco research; and healthcare institutions where patients are authorized to smoke by their physician), the regulatory status code “Some Restrictions” is given.
