The Department of Trade and Industry has warned manufacturers and retailers against selling vape products that have “flavor descriptors,” which it deemed attractive to minors, following the confiscation of P3.5 million worth of illegal vape products.
With this, Castelo said there is a need to strictly implement the age verification system among sellers of vape products. The said provision described flavor descriptor as “presumed to unduly appeal to minors if it includes a reference to a fruit, candy brand, dessert, or cartoon character.” But the trade official cautioned against the growing curiosity among minors on the use of vape products as these products with flavor descriptors are now being sold in the market.
“Marami rin kasi na totally pinapasara na lang iyong tindahan kasi lahat ng tinda nila ay may violation kagaya noong nangyari sa Valenzuela—sarado na lang po iyong tindahan; hindi na natin iku-confiscate kasi isasara na lang ‘yung store,” the trade official said.
