Philippines proposes to ban open e-cigarettes
The Philippine Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has proposed a draft policy to ban the use, manufacture, import and distribution of open e-cigarette equipment, cigarettes and e-cigarette liquids, and is seeking opinions from stakeholders on the proposal. The move is based on consumer concerns about the possible health risks posed by uncertified and modifiable products, and will also suspend testing of these products under existing laws.
