The Department of Health (DOH) on Thursday said that it will

“fight” the Writ of Preliminary Injunction that was issued against the department with regards to its administrative order that regulates the Electronic Nicotine and Non-Nicotine Delivery Systems.“The FDA, represented by myself and the DOH represented by Secretary Duque, we have been sued by several companies.

“Well it is a temporary setback, I must admit. But it does not preclude us from spreading the facts surrounding the use of such a harmful product. So we will go on with that,” he added. “It will take time before we can see things from happening. But now we know that definitely, e-cigarette is not less harmful as they are saying. It is also very clear that e-cigarette definitely is not safe, in fact it can kill,” said Dr. Maria Encarnita Limpin, secretary of Philippine College of Physicians.

“In response to the epidemic in the United States , WHO has introduced International Classification of Diseases 10 code U07.0, an international tool for classifying and monitoring diseases, to be used immediately for reporting of acutely ill patients who have used electronic cigarettes in the last 90 days, with no other plausible causes for illness,” he said.
