00:32 This June is National No Smoking Month according to the Department of Health.
00:38 It aims to let the public know the negative effects of cigarettes and e-cigarettes or vape.

00:49 But the one in charge, according to the Health Promotion Bureau representative of the Department of Health,
00:55 Armond Arguellas, said that although the number of youths using tobacco in the Philippines is decreasing in the last 10 years,
01:02 the number of youths who smoke is increasing.
01:05 This includes the number of youths who use e-cigarettes.
01:09 According to the Global Youth Tobacco Survey, 14% or 1 in every 7 youths aged 13 to 15 use e-cigarettes every day.
01:21 But according to the law, that age is not yet allowed to smoke.
01:26 One of the reasons for this is the accessibility or ease of buying in stores, kiosks, or online.

02:24 From the number of 5,380 cases of dengue, it has decreased to 5,211 this March until April.
02:36 In total, there were 59,267 dengue cases since the beginning of 2024.
