The Philippines Senate today passed a bill that would legalize and regulate vaping and heated tobacco products, and eliminate the Philippines FDA’s authority over the products. The Vaporized Nicotine Products Regulation Act (SB 2239) was approved by a vote of 19-2, with two senators abstaining.The Philippines House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a similar bill in May. The two bills will now go to a conference committee where they will be reconciled, and both houses will vote on the final version. Then the unified bill will go to President Rodrigo Duterte to sign into law or veto (if he takes no action, the bill automatically becomes law after 30 days).

​The vaping market has evolved rapidly in recent years, and one of the most significant innovations is the Replacement Pod Device. Designed for convenience, consistency, and performance, this device category has become the preferred choice for both beginners and experienced users. Unlike disposable systems, a Replacement Pod Device allows users to change pods while retaining the main device, striking a balance between cost efficiency and premium experience.

The European Commission plans to impose a minimum excise tax on vaping products for all European Union member states. The new tax would be part of the revised Tobacco Excise Directive (TED), which could also include a doubling of the minimum tax on cigarettes and the first tax on heated tobacco products.

While public health advocates are frustrated as most PMTAs remain pending despite a September deadline set by the US District Court in Maryland, several anti-tobacco groups keep pressuring the agency to flat out deny applications for flavoured vaping products. With regards to the newly approved Logic Technology products, the FDA said that given that they are just tobacco flavoured, they may be less appealing to teens and could probably be of benefit to adult smokers seeking an alternative to traditional cigarettes. The agency added that their smoking cessation benefits to adults likely outweigh the risks to young people. Similarly, fifteen past Presidents of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) have recently published an article highlighting the importance of weighing the benefits of e-cigarettes against their risks, when debating and considering vape regulations.

One of the best parts of vapes is the ability to choose your own nicotine strength. And that includes zero nicotine as an option too! Plenty of vapers begin vaping with the goal of weaning off nicotine until they reach zero; using vapes to quit smoking and to break the addiction to nicotine. Yet, some continue vaping without nicotine even after weaning off cigarettes. Then others use both nicotine and non-nicotine juice. Finally, there are vapers that have never used nicotine at all and instead use CBD vape pens.

The vaping products and more recently the heated tobacco products (HTP) provide alternatives for smokers since they are generally perceived to be less harmful than conventional cigarettes. However, it is crucial to compare the health risks of these different emergent devices, in order to determine which product should be preferred to substitute cigarette.
