Claims by lawmakers that the vape bill will save lives through the regulation of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products are false, according to doctors from various medical societies in an online press conference held on Monday.
In December, these groups, which include PCP, the Philippine Medical Association, the Philippine Pediatric Society, and the Department of Health,regarding the bill. They pointed out that vaping has always been available to smokers and that the bill will only expand its reach to non-smokers. Vaping has always been regulated by the Food and Drug Administration through Republic Act 11467 and Executive Order 106, and the Vape Bill only loosens these regulations by transferring it to the jurisdiction of the Department of Trade and Industry, according to a statement from groups opposed to the bill.
