Philippines supposedly has the highest rate of
vaping in the world.
So regulation pushes folks towards illegal vapes, which contain all kinds of nasty stuff, including other drugs and dangerous chemicals.
"Mindanao Times reported on a nationwide consumer study conducted by CARMA, which surveyed over 1,100 cigarette and
vape users. The results showed 58% of people aged 19-24 in Southern Mindanao used vapes, with 61% using them daily.
Almost 60% admitted to buying illegal smoking products. The main driver of these purchasing habits is the cost, as illicit
vaping products are often half the price of legal ones."
