...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
So when will they ban the trucks, buses and jeepnys from smoking??????
Do you think vaping will also be banned ?
From the CNN article above:Originally Posted by cheekee
Vapes not included
Health Assistant Secretary said vapes and e-cigarettes are not included in the smoking ban, but local government units can implement an ordinance.

Thanks.
We are going to Cebu in September and I vape.
My nephew spends quite a bit of time in Cebu. There's vape shops there, but he doesn't think much of them. He takes his vape stuff (whatever that is, I think it's that liquid) with him from UK.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
It will be interesting to see how effective the smoking ban in public places will be.
Estimates vary for the country’s smoking rates, but probably ~ 16 million adults ( over 15 ) - especially men - smoke ; and around a tenth of children ( 13 - 15 ) also smoke. While adult rates have hardly declined for many years, youth rates ARE thought to have done so.
Graphic health warning labels on packs have been required since November last year, but they still don’t all have these warnings, and many cigarettes are bought individually. " Sin taxes " have attempted to raise the cost of cigarettes in the past few years, receipts helping to fund PhilHealth.
The CNN report is misleading - the " estimated six million deaths a year because of tobacco-related diseases " is worldwide, NOT just the Philippines ( probably over 100,000 ).
It’s 10 years since the entire UK became smoke-free in indoor public places. There are now about 2 million fewer smokers ( 8 million remain ) - reduction from 21% in 2007 to 16% last year ( ~15.5% England ; ~17% Wales; ~18% Scotland and Northern Ireland ). ~18% men and ~14% women STILL smoke.
Of course air pollution, from traffic, industry, and in homes ( heating and cooking ) is an increasing worldwide problem - especially in cities like Manila - and may well cause over 4 million deaths each year. That remains to be successfully solved - but not the topic of this thread.
This is a good thing. Many establishments here at Tarlac follow the smoking ban. I'm surprised how well business owners follow this law.
