House Bill No. The measure, if passed into law, will allow the loosening of some restrictions. It would lower the minimum age of individuals who can buy and use vapes and e-cigarettes to 18-year-olds, from the previous 21. Further, the bill would remove regulatory powers of the Food and Drug Administration over vapes and e-cigarettes, and move it to the Department of Trade and Industry. The said bill was a result of multiple consolidated proposals by lawmakers.
