A SENATOR has appealed to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. to veto a bill regulating vaping, citing that its passage will overturn stricter regulations and pose harm to the young market.
The Vape Bill does not regulate, but actually loosens crucial safeguards and makes these products more available to younger individuals,Mr. President, I strongly urge you to veto the vape bill,Congress in January and was transmitted to the office of the President on June 24, according to a June 27 statement of Ms. Cayetano.
Proponents of the bill have argued that vapes and heated tobacco products are effective cessation tools from cigarette smoking and note the need to regulate the industry, the senator said.fatally flawed because rather than to regulate, the Vape bill actually removes the protective measures already found under Republic Act No. 11467 or the Sin Tax Reform Act of 2020.
She cited studies which show that the brain continues to mature until the age of 25, and early exposure to nicotine, through vapes and HTPs, could impair brain development. More flavors are also allowed by the bill, Ms. Cayetano said, and this will likely appeal to the youth.I thus reiterate my urgent call and echo the appeal of more than sixty medical associations and health advocates, former DoH secretaries, and concerned government agencies
