MANILA, Philippines – The Quezon City government has created a “smoke-free” task force to ensure full public compliance in the city’s intensified campaign on health consciousness and drive against smoking in public places.

Mayor Herbert Bautista said the task force will monitor public places and conveyances, buildings, both public and private, and other public places in order to protect the public from the ill-effects of tobacco substances.

On June 23, 2003, the National Government enacted Republic Act No. 9211, otherwise known as the Tobacco Regulations Act, with the intention of regulating the packing, use, distribution and advertisement of tobacco products and for other purposes.
