Santos bans pito de pango

The municipal code of the port city of Santos banned the sale and use of pito de pango and other poisonous substances for smoking, with a fine of 10 mil-réis and four days in jail. Campinas followed in 1876, and dozens of other towns adopted similar rules, rules that França describes as largely a dead letter until the early twentieth century.[1]
