ANG VAPE BILL AY HINDI DOCTOR-RECOMMENDED! Dapat tayong pumanig sa ating mga doktor at hindi sa pansariling interes ng mga kumpanya ng vape at e-cigarettes. President Duterte, #VetoTheVapeBill.

Harmless does not mean no harm.

The Vape bill does not protect the youth. It only makes vapes easily accessible to the youth, who are vulnerable to early addiction to nicotine.

@pcoogov

With nicotine and other harmful chemicals in the e-liquid, it does not make for a healthy and safe alternative to smoking. Quit don’t shift.

Minors have already been exposed to these products. The WHO recommends that these products be strictly and heavily regulated for the maximum protection of public health.

Nicotine is the same toxic and addictive content of cigarettes. Nicotine will just make more Filipinos addicted to chemicals and aerosols from vape liquids.
