Philippines Fails to Lower Age for Vaping and Heated Tobacco Purchase

A proposed law in the Philippines to lower the age limit for purchasing e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products was rejected.

According to reports, a bill aimed at lowering the purchasing age for electronic and heated tobacco products in the Philippines failed to be passed recently.

The bill proposes transferring the regulation of electronic cigarettes from the Food and Drug Administration to the Department of Commerce and Industry, and lowering the minimum age for purchasing electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products from 21 to 18.

The proposal was not approved after being submitted to the presidential office.
