The Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 establishes a framework for sustainable development that balances environmental protection and economic development. It mandates the formulation of a national air quality management program implemented through inter-agency cooperation. The act also focuses on pollution prevention over control and provides guidelines for environmental impact assessment, public education, and industry self-regulation through economic instruments. It designates several government agencies to monitor air quality, set vehicle emissions standards, regulate fuel quality, and support public awareness campaigns.
The document is the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. It was created by the World Health Organization to establish guidelines and recommendations for countries to implement tobacco control strategies and reduce the demand and supply of tobacco products globally. The Convention contains provisions on pricing and tax measures, smoke-free policies, regulation of tobacco product contents and disclosures, education campaigns, advertising bans, and support for economically viable alternatives to tobacco. It also addresses issues such as illicit trade, sales to minors, and protection of public health and the environment from tobacco.
This document outlines the Philippine National Tobacco Control Strategy from 2011-2016. It notes that tobacco use is a leading preventable cause of death globally and in the Philippines. The strategy was developed in response to the country's high tobacco use rates and obligations under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. It aims to promote full implementation of the WHO-FCTC and mobilize public action through strategies like strengthening organizational capacity and advocacy. If left unaddressed, tobacco is projected to kill over 8 million people annually by 2030.
The document summarizes the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic, 2008. It outlines that tobacco use kills over 5 million people per year and could kill over 1 billion people this century if urgent action is not taken. It presents MPOWER, a package of 6 policies recommended by the WHO to help countries implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control: Monitor tobacco use; Protect from secondhand smoke; Offer help to quit; Warn about dangers; Enforce advertising bans; and Raise taxes. However, implementation of these policies remains limited, with only 5% of the global population currently protected by comprehensive smoke-free laws and advertising bans. Increased efforts are needed to curb the tobacco epidemic.
The document discusses the importance of monitoring tobacco use and the impact of tobacco control policies. It outlines that population-based surveillance data is needed to effectively implement the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC). Accurate measurement through monitoring can help public health authorities understand tobacco-related problems and improve interventions. Key indicators to monitor include tobacco use rates, exposure to tobacco smoke and marketing, and the effectiveness of policies like tax increases and smoke-free laws. The document emphasizes that monitoring must use standardized, scientifically valid methods and be strengthened in many countries.
The Civil Service Commission adopted a 100% smoke-free policy that prohibits smoking in all government premises and buildings, except for designated outdoor smoking areas no larger than 10 square meters located at least 10 meters from entrances and congregating areas. The policy aims to protect employees and the public from secondhand smoke and encourage quitting smoking. Heads of agencies must post no smoking signs and ensure compliance, and violations will be subject to disciplinary action.

The document discusses the health hazards of smoking and tobacco use in the Philippines. It provides statistics showing that 240 Filipinos die daily from tobacco-related diseases. Nearly half of adult males (47.7%) smoke, compared to 9% of adult females. Over 20% of students currently smoke cigarettes. The main toxic components of tobacco smoke - nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide - are explained. Smoking is linked to numerous forms of cancer, heart disease, strokes, lung disease, and other health problems. The document urges youth not to start smoking and encourages stopping to save lives.
This document discusses the global health issues caused by tobacco use. Some key points:
- Tobacco use killed 100 million people worldwide in the 20th century, and could kill 1 billion in the 21st century if trends continue.
- Tobacco use causes about 6 million deaths per year currently, and tobacco-related diseases account for about 10% of all deaths globally each year.
- Tobacco use results in an average of 15 years of life lost per smoker and costs nations about 3.6% of their GDP on average.
- 13,500 people die from tobacco use daily worldwide, more than from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined.

The document summarizes a report that found Philip Morris International's "Be Marlboro" global marketing campaign for Marlboro cigarettes to be targeting teenagers. It details how the campaign uses youth-oriented images and themes, such as featuring young, attractive models partying and traveling, to appeal to teens. It also discusses how a German court banned the advertisements, finding they encouraged teens aged 14 and up to smoke. However, PMI continues the campaign aggressively worldwide, including in countries with high smoking rates. The report calls on PMI to end the campaign and for governments to ban all tobacco advertising to protect youth.
1) Each day over 3,000 kids try their first cigarette and 700 become daily smokers in the US, with over 250,000 new underage daily smokers each year. Nicotine addiction occurs faster than other drugs like alcohol or marijuana.
2) 90% of adult smokers began as teens, with two-thirds becoming regular smokers before age 19. Smoking during youth is associated with increased risk of other drug use.
3) Tobacco marketing influences youth smoking more than peer pressure. Kids are more susceptible to tobacco ads than adults, and tobacco companies spend over $24 million per day on marketing.
