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.
