MANILA – The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on Sunday cautioned the public on the use of electronic ci******es amid an upsurge of va**ng products with ma*****na oil.@
The PDEA and other law enforcers confiscated cannabis oil and ma*****na kush as well as assorted va**ng products worth PHP842,000 in Taguig City on March 14.
Last week, the PDEA and the Bureau of Customs
also intercepted 18 boxes containing cannabis oil and ma*****na kush hidden inside e-ci******es worth PHP337 million in Port Area, Manila.
“PDEA warns the public not to patronize ma*****na-laced e-ci******es because of the health hazards involved, and most importantly the law explicitly prohibits it,” the PDEA said in a statement.
"The proliferation of these illicit items can also expose unknowing customers to be addicted to ma*****na."
It said selling and smuggling of ma*****na oil cartridges mean there is growing demand.
“Considering that the va**ng culture is predominantly popular among the youth, PDEA is wary that these cannabis extracts can passed off as a legitimate v**e aerosol in the market and sold to the younger patrons,” the PDEA said.
The PDEA
likewise called for support from other government regulators to tighten the monitoring of the physical and online v**e shops selling ma*****na-flavored e-ci******es.
In January, Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa
called on the Philippine National Police
to ensure that teenagers do not have access to v**es.
Republic Act No. 9211 (To***co Regulation Act of 2003) and Executive Order No. 106 issued by President Rodrigo R. Duterte prohibit the sale or distribution of to***co products within 100 meters of schools, public playgrounds, or other facilities where minors may be found. (PNA)
