“After suffering a backlash in the US for allegedly being responsible for a “vaping epidemic,” e-cigarette giant JUUL Labs expands its market internationally. They have met privately with Philippine policy makers and the medical community. The House health committee vice chair stood his ground as e-cigarette giant JUUL Labs tried to convince lawmakers that their products were viable alternatives for smokers, and that they were aboard the mission to prevent non-smoker and youth usage. On February 13, the House technical working group approved a motion to revert the minimum age of buying vapes to 18.”
