'Vapedemic' killing tobacco industry'
The Philippine Star|April 15, 2024
The proliferation of illegal, disposable vapes is reportedly killing the local tobacco industry as it reduces demand for tobacco-based products, leaving farmers with a shrinking market base.
- JASPER EMMANUEL ARCALAS

Two of the country’s biggest tobacco farmers’ groups – the Philippine Tobacco Growers Association (PTGA) and the National Federation of Tobacco Farmers’ Associations and Cooperatives (NAFTAC) – issued a joint statement urging the government to address the sale of illegal and disposable vapes in the country.

The groups argued that the spread of illegal vapes worsened the tobacco industry’s suffering from the perennial trade of illicit cigarettes, further reducing the demand of domestic manufacturers for locally produced tobacco leaves.
