MANILA, Philippines — Medical experts welcomed the final version of the vape bill, saying this will strictly regulate e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, protect the youth and save smokers’ lives. Dr. Dante Dator, one of the country’s top urologists, said the vape bill aims to prevent the youth from using vape devices. “Without the vape bill, our worst fears that minors will use vape products will become a reality. “I strongly support the vape bill because it has many provisions that are dedicated in protecting the youth and making sure this age group doesn’t use vape products,” he said. “Without the vape bill, flavored and substandard e-cigarettes as well those high-nicotine vape products will continue to flourish because there is no law penalizing violators thereof,” he said.
