A proposed bill in the Philippines aimed at lowering the age limit for purchasing electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products has reportedly failed to pass approval. The bill called for the regulation of e-cigarettes to be transferred from the Food and Drug Administration to the Department of Trade and Industry, with the purchasing age limit for both e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products reduced from 21 years to 18 years. However, the proposal did not receive approval after being submitted to the president's office.
