Hello Bigboss! How are you all doing? I hope you're always healthy, your activities run smoothly, and your affairs are made easy!

In this article, we will discuss regulations for vaping in a neighboring country, Paraguay. The regulations we will be sharing this time are about rules for vaping in public spaces in each South American country.

Following the implementation of new anti-smoking laws in Paraguay, every country in South America has now banned vaping and smoking in most public places.

Under Decree No. 4624, approved by the President of Paraguay on December 29, 2020, the consumption of burnt, heated, or electric tobacco products is only permitted in open public spaces that are not too crowded, not transit areas for smokers.

"This is a great achievement for the people of Paraguay. The country has taken significant steps to protect its citizens from the health, social, environmental, and economic consequences of smoking and exposure to its smoke," said Carissa F. Etienne, Director of the Pan American Health Organization.

"This is an extraordinary moment not only for the health of Paraguayans but for the entire South American region. Paraguay's decision creates a sub-region of the Americas that is truly free of tobacco smoke," said Adriana Blanco, head of the Secretariat of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).

According to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, there are currently approximately 430 million people protected by laws requiring smoke-free public places and workplaces. These laws also prohibit designated vaping or smoking areas.

However, if we look at our own country, Indonesia, such rules are indeed very important if implemented. Because we know that many people, who are not disobedient, still like to vape and smoke in public places that are open or have many people passing by.

Although we can re-examine that vaping is different from smoking, most people are still bothered by the thick vape vapor. We may think that vape vapor is not like cigarette smoke; vape vapor tends to smell pleasant from the flavors carried by the liquid, and its smell does not cling to clothes. But others look at it from the perspective of our ethics as vapers.

Therefore, the rules in Paraguay have garnered much support from its community. A positive value that can be taken from these rules is that as vapers, we must pay close attention to the situation and environment when vaping so as not to disturb the surrounding community. Such rules will certainly have a good impact on everyone, both vapers, smokers, and non-users.

As Indonesian citizens, known for our politeness and courtesy in all our activities, we must pay close attention to our vaping etiquette, not vape in open public spaces, and emulate good vaping etiquette even if there are no definite rules for vaping in our country.
