Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista signs an ordinance regulating the use of e-cigarettes in public and private places.

The ordinance prohibits the use of e-cigarettes inside the following areas:

• Places of worship
• Hospitals and healthcare centers
• Public conveyances
• Government offices
• Educational facilities primarily intended for minors
• Recreational facilities primarily intended for minors

Those who violate the ordinance will be punished based on the number of the offense:

• First offense – P500 to P1,000 fine
• Second offense – P1,000 to P2,500 fine
• Third offense – P2,500 to P5,000 fine plus possible revocation of license to operate for businesses

E-cigarettes are allowed in other enclosed spaces, as long as the manager or owner of the areas post an easily seen sign saying “USE OF E-CIGARETTES IS ALLOWED INSIDE.”
