E-cigarette firm Juul Labs Philippines on Monday expressed its support to Republic Act 11467, saying it is taking immediate steps to comply with the law ahead of the set deadline of Feb. 7, 2020.
Juul said in a statement it was helping the world’s one billion adult smokers transition away from combustible cigarettes—the leading cause of preventable death worldwide—by listening to and working cooperatively with regulators, public health officials and other stakeholders.
“JUUL Labs is supportive of measures that ensure vaping products reach only the adult smokers for whom they are intended and are not used by non-nicotine users, especially those who are underage,” it said.
It said in accordance with RA 11467, JUUL Labs Philippines will no longer make Mango, Creme and Mint JUULpods available for purchase at any JUUL Labs-owned kiosks nor JUUL.ph website, and will stop fulfilling retail orders for these flavors from any of its retail partners.
