RELX International partners with Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to regulate e-cigarette sales. They supports crackdown on illegal products and prioritizes consumer safety.

On June 13th, RELX International (RLX) announced that it will be partnering with the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to strengthen regulations on the sales of e-cigarette products.

Patrick C. Drilon, the external affairs manager of RLX in the Philippines, stated in a declaration that,

"We will closely collaborate with the Department of Trade and Industry in the Philippines to investigate and address any unlawful actions of e-cigarette product sellers."

Previously, Alfredo Pascual, the Secretary of the Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry, issued a directive to strictly monitor the sales of e-cigarette products to ensure compliance with the regulations of the Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Product Regulation Act.

This law establishes guidelines and restrictions for the sale and distribution of e-cigarette products in the Philippines.

Mr. Drilon said:

RLX fully supports the efforts of government departments to enforce sales regulations and is taking necessary actions to crackdown on any violations.

Earlier, the Philippine Department of Trade and Industry announced that they have seized 13,784 e-cigarette products worth 4.25 million pesos (about 550,000 RMB) from non-compliant e-cigarette stores and issued violation notices to 72 companies.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry stated that most of the violations are related to product packaging requirements, sales of e-cigarettes or new tobacco products containing nicotine or non-nicotine, restrictions on product promotion, advertising and sponsorship, and the ban on the use of nicotine and non-nicotine products in public places.

Mr. Delilong stated that RLX supports DTI's efforts to combat illegal e-cigarette products and emphasized that consumer safety is the company's top priority.
