Signed last February 26, the EO requires all electronic nicotine/non-nicotine delivery systems , heated tobacco products , and other novel tobacco products to be registered with the Food and Drug Administration .

“We are grateful that President Duterte has remained true to his promise to put a prime value on the health of the Filipinos and to protect their welfare over and above the vested commercial interest of the e-cigarette industry,” said Dr. Maricar Limpin, ASH Philippines Executive Director and National Secretary of Philippine College of Physicians.

Thony Dizon of EcoWaste Coalition noted: “We welcome the government’s latest public health policy, which will help in protecting users and the general public from the dangers of consuming e-cigarettes, particularly the nicotine content in the e-liquids that is often not sufficiently disclosed on product labelling.”
