 Drafting

There are fewer and fewer options for cigar addicts as they have places 

to smoke, so many have not welcomed Morena's recent initiative that 

seeks to fine those who consume inside their own cars. 

The initiative, proposed by the coordinator of the morenista bench 

Ricardo Monreal, seeks that private vehicles are also 100% 

smoke-free spaces with an amendment to the General Law for 

Tobacco Control. 

He also proposed that there be fines when this is not respected 

with penalties of up to 14 thousand pesos, up to 100 times the 

minimum wage.

When presenting his proposal, Monreal argued that every year 

8 million people die in the world from causes related to tobacco 

consumption, of which 1.2 million are passive smokers. 

Some diseases or conditions associated with tobacco include 

asthma, pneumonia, and bronchitis, as well as other respiratory diseases.
