Stressing that the significant rise in youth vaping is a public health crisis, a “vapedemic” as it is now aptly called, the Parents Against Vape has called on for an amendment of the Vape Law or Republic Act 11900 and implement stricter regulations on the marketing and sale of vape products, particularly those that appeal to young people.
“Particularly alarming is the statistic that one in every seven young teenagers, aged 13 to 15, is now using vape products. This, despite the fact that, under Republic Act 11900, only those 18 years old and above are supposed to have access to vapes,” PAV added. With this, PAV called for an amendment of the Vape Law or Republic Act 11900 by:
Return the regulatory power over vapes to the Food and Drug Administration. Anything that you put into your body should be regulated by the FDA, not by the Department of Trade and Industry .
