Brazil Scraps Flight Ban on Vapes, in Win for Consumer Advocacy

Covers Brazil’s aviation regulator briefly banning vapes from flights in mid-2024, then reversing the ban within months after a consumer advocacy campaign and formal complaints. Frames the reversal as a rare consumer win against internationally coordinated prohibitionist tobacco-control funding active across the Global South — notably relevant given AVI is running a comparable flight-ban case of its own against India’s BCAS.
