                    [Summary] => "If you don’t smoke, make a stand or die." 


This was the call of anti-smoking advocates as they warned that passive smoke is six times more toxic than first-hand smoke. 


Dr. Encarnita Limpin, president of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines, said that non-smokers should learn to stand against smokers if they want to protect themselves. 


Limpin noted that being around a smoker could take a toll on one’s health because the smoke produced is deadlier.

Dr. Encarnita Limpin, president of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines, said they are seeking to amend Republic Act 9211 or the Tobacco Regulations Act to allow pictures of those sick with tobacco-related illnesses to be printed on cigarette packaging to discourage Filipinos from smoking.
