LET’S READ!
Substance Use and Abuse
Republic Act No. 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002
protects citizens from the harmful effects of dangerous drugs to their physical and
mental well-being. According to the policy, here are some which are considered as
unlawful acts and are subject to penalties and fines.
On the other hand, Republic Act No. 9211 or the Tobacco Regulation Act of
2003 protects people from the sale, use, and advertisements of hazardous tobacco
products.
The Act also restricts access to sale of tobacco products to minors. Tobacco may
not be put in a vending machine, unless it verifies age, and may not be sold within 100 meters
of a school. Should tobacco be sold, there should be proper signage that indicates target
consumers.
When it comes to advertising and promotions, the Act provisions the printing of
warnings on cigarette packs in either Filipino or English. In addition, health warnings should
also be included.
Lastly, the government should provide programs and projects for those who shall
be affected by the passing of the Act. One example of which are the tobacco growers.
