A single use of va**ng can kill.

“Saba-saba juice”, “Zombie drug”, 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.
