The House of Representatives has ratified the bicameral conference report on the bill regulating the manufacture, use, and sale of vape products.

It was also ratified by the Senate on Tuesday and will now be forwarded to President Rodrigo Duterte for his signature.

The measure lowers the age of those allowed to purchase and use vape and e-cigarettes from 21 to 18.

Speaking to CNN Philippines' The Final Word, Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) president Dr. Maricar Blanco-Limpin said this provision is one of their main concerns as it makes the products more accessible to many.
