MANILA, Philippines — Senator Manny Pacquiao has sought for the banning of cigarette and vape smoking in public and enclosed areas. Establishments are also prohibited to sell such products in schools, playgrounds, youth hostels, or recreational facilities to minors. Placing advertisements or promotional materials of tobacco products within 100 meters of a school perimeter, playground and other facilities are also prohibited under the measure. Smoking will only be allowed on Designated Smoking Areas (DSAs), which should be compliant to the standards of the measure. They are also required to form a local Smoke-Free Task Force to carry out provisions under the measure.
