Review Urged for Philippines Senate Bill No. 11990 on E-Cigarettes
According to a report by Malaya on June 4, Philippine Senator Joel Villanueva called for a review of Senate Bill 11990, also known as the "Vaporized Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Products Regulation Act," in order to transfer regulatory authority over e-cigarette products to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) instead of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
The legislator stated that despite the official implementation of Bill 11990 in 2022, amendments are urgently needed due to the increasing health issues related to e-cigarettes. Additionally, the Ministry of Trade and Industry's efficiency in banning illegal e-cigarette shops is low and needs to be addressed immediately.
I support the FDA's investigation into this matter and its regulation. There are issues with the enforcement or implementation of this law. The issue should be resolved by the FDA instead of the DTI.
