MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte issued an executive order banning the use of vape in public places, three months from when he first ordered the arrest of those who use vapes and e-cigarettes in public. Under the EO, vaping is prohibited “within enclosed public places and public conveyances...except in Designated Smoking/Vaping Areas.”The EO expanded the coverage of EO No. The EO on banning vape comes three months after Duterte told reporters in a press conference: “I said smoking is dangerous. The incorporation of e-liquids, solutions and refills with flavours and additives that may be appealing to those below 21 is also prohibited. Establishments manufacturing, distributing, importing and selling ENDS/ENNDS, HTPs or their components meanwhile are ordered to secure a license to operate from the FDA.
