A single use of va**ng can kill.

โ€œSaba-saba juiceโ€, โ€œZombie drugโ€, and similar substances used in v**e devices may contain cannabinoids, ni****ne, and other harmful chemicals that can cause poisoning and serious health effects.

The ZCMC Poison Control Center strongly advises the public to avoid the use of unregulated v**e products. We also remind parents, schools, and communities that v**e use is strictly prohibited among individuals below 18 years of age under Republic Act No. 11900.

Collective action is essential to protect our youth and prevent further harm.

Today, the ZCMC Toxicology Specialty Center (TSC) team conducted the first Tox Caravan for 2026 with adolescents from Talisayang and Tulungatung Senior High. The session # covered poisoning, envenomation, and chemical incidents, with discussions focusing on substance use and the risks that young people may encounter.

Adolescents are a high-risk population. Promoting toxicovigilance and strengthening poison prevention education are key to empowering the youth.
