Philippine survey: 90% of smokers support the use of e-cigarettes as a harm reduction product
Blue Hole New Consumer Report, January 10 news, according to foreign reports, a consumer study shows that 9 out of 10 smokers in the Philippines support the creation of the proposed e-cigarette bill. Respondents to the study believe that governments should develop policies to encourage adult smokers to switch to less harmful cigarette alternatives, while ensuring that minors do not use these products.
The Philippine Senate and House of Representatives approved their respective versions of the measure in 2021, the report said. The House of Representatives approved the House bill on May 25, 2021. (HB) 9007 or "Nonflammable Nicotine Delivery Systems Regulation Act".
SB 2239 and HB 9007 will be coordinated by the bicameral conference committee and approved by both houses when the conference resumes after the holidays. The checked bill will be submitted to the President for approval and signature. If Duterte signs the bill into law, the Vapor Nicotine Products Act would regulate e-cigarettes, heated tobacco products (HTP) and other vaping nicotine products while ensuring they contribute to government revenue.
The research was conducted by Acorn Marketing and Research Consultants and commissioned by consumer advocacy group Vapers PH in August 2021. Acorn is Asia's largest independent research network with offices in 11 Asian countries, including the Philippines. The sample size for the survey was 2,000 legal-age smokers. The survey results showed that 90% of respondents believed that the government should come up with new ways to reduce the harm caused by smoking.
The bill, which aims to help adult smokers quit smoking, sets out strong measures aimed at protecting minors from exposure to and consumption of the device.
