#CostaRica 🇨🇷 #BDS_LaborAlert: New Regulations to the Law Governing the Use of Vaping Devices Imposes Significant Obligations on Employers

On August 9th, the Regulations to Act No. 10066, Law on the Regulation of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS), Similar Non-Nicotine Systems (SNNS), and Electronic Devices Using Heated Tobacco and Similar Technologies, was published in Item No. 139 to the Official Gazette No. 146, under Executive Decree No. 44596-S-H-SP-GP-JP.  

This regulation aims to regulate, control, and oversee the implementation of this Law concerning devices commonly known as "vapes" or "vaporizers," while also seeking to protect individuals' health from the consequences of using or being exposed to these products and to establish a specific tax in favor of the Costa Rican Social Security Administration (CCSS).

This regulation has significant implications for companies and workplaces alike, making it essential to consider its provisions, which are applicable to all physical persons and legal entities within the national territory.
