Several medical organizations on Wednesday appealed to outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte to veto the proposed measure that seeks to lower the age of access to vape and e-cigarette products from 21 to 18.
In observance of the National No-Smoking Month, the Philippine Medical Association , Philippine College of Physicians , Philippine Pediatric Society , and Philippine College of Chest Physicians underscored that Senate Bill 2239 or the proposed Vaporized Nicotine Products Regulation Act may be detrimental to the Filipinos, particularly the younger age group.
“Safer is not equivalent to safe. That carries a lot of risk to this age group. It is not harm reduction but a dangerous nicotine trap. This is a harmful introduction to our teens and young adults. The risk taking behavior in this age group coupled with their mental health problems will put more of our Filipino children at risk,” she said in a virtual press conference.
