In a significant demonstration, over 6,000 young Filipinos participated in activities for World No Tobacco Day, advocating for an immediate ban on vapes and e-cigarettes. The TobaccOFF NOW! movement, which organized the event, expressed concerns over the tobacco industry's influence on youth and the rising popularity of vaping among minors. According to the group, approximately 1.21 million Filipino youth use e-cigarettes, with vaping rates among teenagers aged 13 to 15 surpassing those of traditional cigarettes. The campaign launched a manifesto calling for comprehensive measures to combat nicotine addiction, including a ban on vaping products, stricter advertising regulations, and the prohibition of youth-targeted designs and flavors. Vonn Vincent Tanchuan, the campaign lead, emphasized the growing frustration among youth regarding the health risks posed by nicotine products, while Jeannie Anne Maguad urged immediate action to protect young people from these harmful products. The campaign included regional activities culminating in a gathering in Quezon City, which brought together over 250 participants, including local government representatives.
