Action on Smoking & Health (ASH) Philippines

Passing the vape bill is basically opening the gates to a new vaping epidemic. Di pa nga tayo nakakamove-on sa covid eh. Do better! @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill

as in other countries, the writing is on the wall Sir. #PresidentDuterte please junk the industry-backed vape deregulation measure. #VetoTheVapeBill #forlegacy @piacayetano @kikopangilinan @doktorahelentan @joetgarcia @ruffybiazon @VPPilipinas truthinitiative.org/impact-series/…

Please leave us with a legacy upholding public health over commercial interest President #Duterte @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vetothevapebill #vapeisnotsafe

SB 2239 contradicts itself in the declaration of policy of the State to protect and promote the right to health of the people. The people being the users of e-cigarettes? @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill

. Don't be deceived! Vaping is NOT A SAFE ALTERNATIVE to cigarette smoking and should not be easily accessible to the public especially the youth! @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #VapeIsNotSafe #VetoTheVapeBill

The COVID-19 outbreak is still ongoing, and enacting the vape bill might usher in a new hazardous epidemic. Let's protect the welfare of the Filipinos, especially the younger generation!🇵🇭 @VPPilipinas @pcoogov @bcs_gov @SecAndanar #VetoTheVapeBill #VapeIsNotSafe

Meantime, Philippine Congress/Senate prefers to utilize the @FDAPhilippines for vape product applications with "health claims" so those in the trade could just declare that they are consumer products, period. Dear #PresidentDuterte please don't let them have it. #VetoTheVapeBill

Quit means STOP. It does not mean replacing it with something to get addicted to. The long-term use of anything may have serious consequences to one’s well-being. @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #VapeIsNotSafe #VetoTheVapeBill

SB 2239 lowers the age limits for sale of vapes and related products making it easily accessible to the youth who are vulnerable to early addiction to nicotine, an integral ingredient in both e-cigarettes and conventional cigarettes @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas #vetothevapebill

With nicotine and other harmful chemicals in the e-liquid, it does not make for a healthy and safe alternative to smoking. Quit don’t shift. @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill

E-liquids made from “food grade materials” should NOT exempt it from being under the jurisdiction of @FDAPhilippines. Manufactured food products are and should be regulated by the FDA. @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill

Relaxing restrictions on harmful products does not help in the current pandemic. Focus of government should be in urgent health measures that can help in this pandemic. @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill

Republic Act Nos. 11346 and 11467 already mandates the regulation of vapor products and heated tobacco products by @FDAPhilippines. @piacayetano @pcoogov @bcs_gov @VPPilipinas @SecAndanar #vapeisnotsafe #vetothevapebill
