Writing in his capacity as the health columnist for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Professor Rafael Castillo MD hailed the new vape legislation in the Philippines as the “1st real antismoking measure in 20 years”.
In a comprehensive statement, he details why he and his peers support the recently approved vape bill.
Rafael Castillo is a Professor in Cardiovascular Medicine at the College of Medicine in the Adventist University of the Philippines. He also works as a Senior Consultant in Adult Cardiology at the Manila Doctors’ Hospital, and is the Dean Emeritus and Head of Cardio-Metabolic Research Unit.
As a cardiology expert, Castillo is ideally placed to comment with authority on vaping and its potential to offer harm reduction to current smokers – comment that is needed given the questions being asked by some sceptical members of the Pinoy medical community.
