Philippine Government Passes Comprehensive Vaping Regulation Law
Joyetech Philippines welcomes the regulation of nicotine and non-nicotine vape products in the Philippines.

The Philippine branch of Yooz, a vaping company, has expressed great enthusiasm regarding the passing of the Evaporated Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act or Republic Act in the country. The regulation, which will officially take effect on July 25, 2022, is the first comprehensive law in the Philippines that regulates the importation, manufacturing, sales, packaging, distribution, use, and communication of vapor and heated tobacco products.


According to Mr. Wu, the General Manager of Yooz, with this significant legislation, the electronic cigarette industry will be subjected to appropriate regulation that will benefit adult smokers who are hoping to switch to better alternatives, while keeping the products out of the hands of underage users.


According to a new law, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has been given the authority to regulate the sale of new tobacco products such as vaporized nicotine and non-nicotine products, as well as their devices, both online and in physical stores.


As a responsible member of the electronic cigarette industry, Yooz is committed to working closely with regulatory authorities to comply with new implementation rules and regulations. The DTI is expected to develop these rules and regulations within the next few weeks.
