It is a sign of trouble when the state starts pushing for Sunday celebrations as a way to save the environment, promote healthy lifestyles and foster community cohesion. These kinds of initiatives, which aim to designate Sunday as the day to better our communities, are increasingly becoming more common. In this most recent case, political leaders in Costa Rica organized a smoke-free Sunday to encourage people to reduce car emissions, give up smoking, and to offer entertainment, food, sports, and leisure.

On February 18, 2024, La Teja News reported the following:

• “We take advantage of the ‘Smoke-Free Family Sundays’ organized by the municipality of San José on Paseo Colón to find out how informed families are about the real health risks caused by vaping.” [1]

• “In the midst of skateboards, bicycles, roller skates, clowns, inflatables, storytellers and even go-carts, we were happy to see that parents are well informed about vaping and, best of all, that they are explaining to their children how harmful it is to their health. What is this vice?” [1]
