Thank you, Roberto. A lesson in the intricate political-economic engineering that predominantly targets low- and middle-income countries. The case of Mexico serves as a contemporary illustration of how dominant interests, cloaked as public welfare initiatives, operate through an international system that undermines national autonomy. In this instance, the supposed defense of public health acts as a façade for a broader strategy that deepens economic inequalities and consolidates power in the hands of global private actors. The outcomes of these policies not only perpetuate illicit markets and strengthen criminal networks but also highlight how historically exploited local societies, detached from the decisions that shape their lives, are reduced to mere pawns in a global political-economic game where declared intentions rarely align with actual results.
Thank you for the information; it clarifies the unusual steps taken to ban a vastly safer alternative to cigerettes. I learned it was even stranger than I had thought.
Amazing how one guy (our ex-president) managed to impose laws that cause so much harm. The prohibition of vapes was not the only thing, the worse is the unnecessary and idiotic re-foundation of the whole Judiciary, all for pure hubris and spite.
