“The House committees on health and trade and industry approved on Tuesday, January 28, the creation of a technical working group (TWG) that would craft stronger regulation of minors’ use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) or e-cigarettes. This comes about a week after President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act 11467 on new excise taxation rates for alcohol and tobacco products. The law also now prohibits the sale of e-liquids or “juices” that are not tobacco- or menthol-flavored, in an effort to reduce the appeal of e-cigarettes to young people. The House TWG will consolidate the 11 bills so far seeking to regulate the use, sale, packaging, distribution, and advertisement of ENDS.”
