The Department of Health and several anti-smoking and anti-vaping groups wrapped up the “No Smoking” month in June urging everyone to unite and ensure a smoke-free Philippines. . Health officials strongly encouraged all citizens to “love yourself and care for others by not smoking or vaping.”
“Let every month be a no-smoking month, so that we can build an environment free from tobacco,” said PLCPD Deputy Executive Director Au Quilala. She called for continuous local government support for early prevention activities to protect children from the tobacco industry’s allure. The campaign is backed by Presidential Proclamation No. 183, declaring June as “National No-Smoking Month.”
The 2019 Global Youth Tobacco Survey revealed that one in seven Filipino youths aged 13 to 15 use vapes. PAV believes this number could be even higher today, given the rapid spread of vape shops across the country.
