Sen. Joel Villanueva applauds a recent Supreme Court ruling affirming the authority of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate tobacco products. Villanueva emphasized the importance of this ruling by highlighting the complex and dangerous nature of nicotine addiction, stating that it is a significant health issue best managed by the FDA and the Department of Health (DOH). He cited data from the Lung Center of the Philippines showing an average of 321 daily deaths in 2022 due to tobacco-related diseases. "Tobacco kills more than 8 million people worldwide every year and that's why it matters all the time to listen to experts," Villanueva said Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
