Philippines Vape Ban Slammed
The Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA) has strongly criticized the Philippines’ new vape ban, calling it a “reckless policy” that removes safer alternatives for adult smokers. The ban on open pod systems and uncertified e-liquids has already closed compliant shops and limited consumer choices. Nancy Loucas, CAPHRA’s Executive Coordinator, argued that the government fails to distinguish between different vaping systems, demonstrating a lack of understanding that harms the public. CAPHRA also condemned the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) for not consulting consumers, leading to policies that undermine effective public health measures.
