The Supreme Court has reiterated that the Food and Drug Administration has regulatory authority over the health aspects of tobacco products .In a decision promulgated in July, the SC En Banc affirmed its 2021 decision and denied the motion for reconsideration filed by the Philippine Tobacco Institute and Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman.According to the court, the PTI challenged a provision in the implementing rules of the Food and Drug Administration Act .
However, the PTI argued that the Inter-Agency Committee has exclusive jurisdiction over tobacco products, including its health aspect.A regional trial court then ruled in PTI’s favor, however the SC reversed this decision in 2021. The SC said the industry fell under the FDA's authority given the country’s commitments to the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control .This prompted the PTI to challenge the ruling.
