The Philippines has included vape

After the vape was seriously misunderstood in the Philippines last year, it was finally rationalized on February 28 this year. Last year, when the related lung injury case occurred in the Philippines, it was mistakenly thought that it was caused by vape. The government's attitude towards vape was very strict, and then it rose to the level of president.

On November 19th, local time last year, President Duterte of the Philippines issued a very harsh speech on vape, saying that the use and import of vape will be banned and anyone who uses vape will be arrested.

"I want to ban it, including use and import. Do you know why? Because it is toxic, the government has the right to introduce measures to protect public health and public interest." Duterte said.

Just a few hours after Philippine President Duterte announced that he would ban the use of vape, on November 20, 2019, the Philippine police received an order to start arresting people who used vape in public.

On February 28, 2020, the Philippine Presidential Palace issued an executive order signed by President Duterte, amending the national ban on smoking ban issued in 2017 to include vapes under the control.

Although vape is included in the scope of control, the executive order stipulates that companies involved in the manufacture or sale of vape can be operated after they have registered with the Philippine Food and Drug Administration and obtained a license. Relevant standards formulated by the government.

This executive order signifies that vape has begun to usher in standardized development in the Philippines. The Philippine government no longer treats vape as simple, crude, and one-size-fits-all! The Philippine government no longer prohibits the use and import of vape!

Of course, it can't be purely positive, there must be restrictions on vape. According to this executive order, the minimum age for those who legally purchase, own or use various types of tobacco products including vape in the

Philippines is 21 years old. In addition to designated smoking areas, vapes are prohibited in public places. The new regulations will take effect 15 days after being announced.
