On Monday, July 25th, the so-called Vape Bill was enacted into law. The measure aims to regulate the importation, manufacture, sale, packaging, distribution, use, and communication of vapour and heated tobacco products.

Važno je napomenuti da se prijedlog zakona usredotočuje na uvođenje dobnih ograničenja za starije od 18 godina, osiguravajući da odrasli pušači imaju pristup nezapaljivim alternativama pušenju.

Liza Katsiashvili, community manager at World Vapers’ Alliance, said:

“While most policymakers are misinformed and fight against vaping, the Philippines followed the right path to embrace vaping as an effective harm reduction innovation to save lives. Other countries should follow this example and endorse smart vaping policies to ensure improved public health for millions of consumers globally.”

Zakon, koji je predstavio senator Ralph G. Recto, ukazuje na to da je prioritet države usvajanje strategije smanjenja štete, usmjerene na prestanak pušenja za odrasle konzumente. Ova izjava je velika pobjeda za zajednicu vapera na Filipinima.
