01:06a US non-profit and granting organization
01:09where smoking pandemic is one of their targets,
01:14more than 16 million Filipinos are using cigarettes.
01:18This is from 15 years old and above.
01:21That's why in the whole world,
01:23Philippines is ranked 15th and 4th
01:27in the World Health Organization Western Pacific Region
01:31as the country with the most number of smokers.

01:39why Filipinos get sick and end up dying.
01:44If you use cigarettes according to their usage,

02:18Anya may have an influence on children,
02:22especially the parents who usually order their children
02:26to buy vegetables from the store.
02:30I ordered Otoy to buy vegetables from the store.
02:33He will buy vegetables for his mother.
02:35When he goes there, the cowboy who is being shot will run to him.
02:39That's wrong.
02:40Otoy may have grown up.
02:41He didn't just buy vegetables.
02:42He even had the idea that it's okay to be shot.
02:45According to ASIC Domingo,
02:47what they are doing is contrary to the Republic Act 9211
02:52or Tobacco Regulation Act of 2023,
02:55the law on the control of the use of tobacco products.
02:59Therefore, according to the public,
