The Mexican Federal Comission for Health Risks Oversight, or Cofepris, had issued an alert for products like the confiscated cigarettes that pose “health risks,” the Federal Police said.
Cigarettes of this type “can contain potentially toxic chemical compounds and are different from tobacco, causing serious effects that cannot be predicted,” the Cofepris said.
