of an element, through the mouth,
usually of tobacco in a cigarette,
cigar, or pipe.

3. AIRCIGARETTES GIVE OFF TWO
MAIN ATMOSPHERE-
POLLUTING CHEMICALS,
CARBON DIOXIDE AND
METHANE
If you smoke one cigarette these
chemicals aren’t lethal, but when
everyone smokes, the culmination
takes its toll.
Smoking worldwide releases
2.6 BILLION
KG
of carbon dioxide and
5.2 BILLION
KG
of methane EVERY YEAR
Cigarettes produce over
7,000chemicals when lit.

4. MANUFACTURING
PROCESSTobacco causes a lot of air pollution even before it gets into the customer’s lungs
Machines flatten land and prepare fields for
tobacco planting by spreading pesticides and
other chemicals onto the soil to promote
growth and crop loss.
Once the tobacco has
grown, machines then cut
the crops for curing
The curing process involves special
furnaces or wood burning fires to dry
out the tobacco, all causing harmful
chemicals to be released into the air

5. SMOKING BAN
Smoking bans (or smoke-free laws) are public policies,
including criminal laws and occupational safety and
health regulations, that prohibit people to smoke in any
workplaces or other public spaces.

6. The Smoking Ban in the Philippines is
under the provisions of 2 laws:
• The Clean Air Act of 1999
• TheTobacco Regulation of 2003

7. President Rodrigo Duterte issued the
Philippine Executive Order 26 that
invoked these 2 laws to impose a
nationwide ban on smoking in all public
places in our country.

8. This executive order forbids the use of
tobacco, including electric cigarettes, in
all public places. It also prohibits anyone
under 18 years old from buying or selling
these kind of cigarette products.

9. Why do you think these laws are
implemented?

10. Smoking bans were enacted in an
attempt to protect people from the
effects of smoking like heart
disease, lung cancer and other
illnesses

11. In addition, these laws may reduce health
care costs, improve work productivity and
many more. Smoking restrictions could
also reduce risk of fire in areas with
explosives hazards and this laws could
promote cleanliness in public places.

SMOKING CAN IMPROVE THE
AIR QUALITY IN MANY
ESTABLISHMENTS
