Advocacy groups on Monday appealed to the Department of Education and the Commission on Higher Education to strengthen efforts to resolve the “vape epidemic” among the youth.
“Although the Trade and Industry Department issued an administrative order to implement the law, we firmly believe that the education agencies are in a more strategic position to address the vape epidemic among our youth,” CRN convenor Romeo Dongeto said. Among the suggestions of the advocacy groups is for DepEd and CHED to release guidelines to ensure that the sale of vapes and e-cigarettes is not conducted within a 200-meter radius of schools.
