Canada’s travel advisory warns Canadians that Mexico has banned the import of e-cigarettes and vaping devices since 2025. Tourists found with these items upon arrival may have them confiscated and could face fines or detention. Mexico has implemented a nationwide ban covering all aspects of e-cigarettes and vaping, including commercialization, manufacturing, and advertising. Violations of this ban can result in fines or imprisonment for one to eight years. The country is now “doubling down” on enforcement with more clearly defined laws and harsher penalties, extending the ban to include advertising across all media platforms.
