ANTI-TOBACCO advocates on Friday, August 11, 2023, warned the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) that advocating for the Philippines as a manufacturing hub for vaping and heated tobacco products (HTP) would also result in the country becoming a center for e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (Evali) cases.
THE Department of Health (DoH) urged the country's economic managers to consider the effect on public health of allowing more investments in the local electronic cigarette industry. The DoH issued the statement after Trade Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo called on manufacturers of heated tobacco products (HTPs) to do business in the Philippines.
