Mexico Tightens Ban On Smoking In Public Places

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

Mexico has brought into force one of the world’s strictest anti-tobacco laws by enacting a total ban on smoking in public places.

And these three paragraphs outline the story.

The step, which was first approved in 2021, also includes a ban on tobacco advertising.

Several other Latin American countries have also passed legislation to create smoke-free public spaces.

However, Mexico’s legislation is considered to be the most robust and wide-ranging in the Americas.

If I was going to list countries that I felt would bring in tough anti-smoking legislation, I don’t think, I would have named Mexico.
