Never namin in-advocacy na manghikayat ng taong hindi nagsisigarilyo, hindi nagve-vape na gumamit sila ng vape,&quot; giit ni Chua.</p><p>Una nang kinumpirma ng DOH na nasawi ang isang dalawampu at dalawang taong gulang na vape user bunsod ng matinding pinsala sa baga.</p><p>&quot;DOH and PGH raises warning on vape as it cites first Filipino death. Bente-dos anyos na namatay sa heart attack. Ang pinaka-striking sa kasong ito &#x27;yung kaniyang heart attack, wala siyang risk factors maliban sa araw-araw siyang nagva-vape for the past two years bago siya atakihin sa puso,&quot; ayon sa naunang pahayag ni Health Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/6/1/2-pang-kaso-ng-vape-associated-injury-kinumpirma-ng-doh-2036"><strong>2 pang kaso ng vape-associated injury, kinumpirma ng DOH<br/></strong></a></div><p>Aminado naman si Chua na hindi mabuti sa kalusugan ang vape ngunit alternatibo pa rin sa paninigarilyo.</p><p>&quot;Itong produktong ito is just an alternative for cigarette smokers na maghahanap ng &#x27;ayoko ng mabaho, gusto ko ng less dangerous, ayoko ng nicotine,&#x27; ito ang produkto natin,&quot; giit ni Chua.</p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/01/23/24/vapes-are-not-a-safer-better-option-leachon">Vapes are not a safer, better option — Leachon</a></div><p>Suportado rin umano ni Chua ang rekomendasyon ng health experts na itaas sa 21 taong gulang mula sa kasalukuyang 18 taong gulang ang papayagang makabili ng vape products.</p><p>Hindi rin umano sila pabor sa pagbebenta nito sa iba’t ibang online platforms.</p><p>&quot;If the government thinks that is the best way to support the industry, we don&#x27;t have any problem with that,&quot; aniya.</p><p>&quot;Ang online selling kasi, hindi namo-monitor ang pagbenta sa minors. Wala silang binabayarang rental, diyan nagsisimula ang price war. We don&#x27;t tolerate the online selling of vape products lalo na bisyo &#x27;to,&quot; paliwanag ni Chua.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MOo7tMgKsto?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
