For the purpose of this review, we will be using the term “HTP” when referring to a “heated tobacco product.”

Electronic smoking device: a smoking product whose emissions are generated with the aid of a system powered by electricity, battery, or other non-combustible source, which mimics the act of smoking, including:
a) disposable or reusable products;
b) products that use a solid and/or liquid matrix, or others, depending on their construction and design;
c) products composed of a unit that heats one or more matrixes: liquid (with or without nicotine); solid (usually composed of tobacco extract or leaves - crushed, crumbled, cut or whole, or other plants); composed of synthetic substances that reproduce tobacco components, extracts from other plants; essential oils; vitamin complexes; or other substances;
d) products known as electronic cigarettes, e-cigs, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), electronic non-nicotine delivery systems (ENNDS), e-pod, “pen-drive,” pod, vapes, heated tobacco product (HTP), heat not burn, vaporizers, among others.

The law contains a definition of “electronic smoking device,” which is broad and includes both heated tobacco products and e-cigarettes. This is significant because the law bans all electronic smoking devices.

Smoking product: a manufactured product, whether or not derived from tobacco, which contains leaves, leaf extracts, other vegetable components, synthetic or natural substances, or which mimics tobacco products.

The definition of  “smoking product” is significant because the definition of “electronic smoking device” uses the term “smoking product.”
