INTRODUCTION
The Philippines is known as one of the countries that has a high number of
population that engages in smoking. At about 17.3 million Filipinos are recorded
as smokers in the year 2009 (Philippine GATS 2009). The study of the American
Cancer Society and World Lung Foundation shows that the Philippines is among
the top 20 nations with the highest smoking population in the year 2012. With this
information, it can be observed that the number of Filipinos suffering from smoke
related diseases is increasing. At about 240 Filipinos dies, in daily basis, and
accrue to the 87, 600 deaths every year due to smoking-related diseases such as
Health risks are evidently aware to cigarette smoking or simply exposure to the
smoke being emitted in the course of smoking. Exposures to the smoke emitted
can be classified into three– first hand smoke which is the direct exposure or the
inhaling of the smoke when any person smokes near; and third hand-smoke or the
exposure to the chemicals, like nicotine, that remains after the cigarette is put out
(Apelberg, 2007). Two of these exposures can occur where a certain population is

Regulations are comprehensive and cover a broad range of topics on tobacco control.

are three types of tobacco preparation. The first one is the roll of tobacco which is
smoked. Cigarette is the best example of this. The second type is pipe like water
pipes. The third is the oral preparation which is chewed, held in mouth or placed in

Cigarettes are considered to be among the most deadly and addictive products
made by men. If the users will smoke cigarettes according to the intention of the
cigarettes manufacturers, cigarette smoking can kill half of its users (WHO, 2006).
On the other hand, it’s not only the tobacco consumers who are susceptible to
its negative effects. The second-hand tobacco smoke which is also known as passive
smoking has exposed millions of people including half of the world’s children to the
increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer and other cancer, asthma and
other respiratory diseases, ear infection and sudden infant death syndrome in children.
The above mentioned diseases are but a few of second-hand smoking’s harmful
products is critical. All tobacco products can cause disease and death aside from the

(USDHHS, 2000). Annually, secondhand smoke causes an estimated 3000 lung
cancer deaths and 62,000 coronary heart disease deaths in California (NCI, 1999).
All tobacco products are dangerous and addictive. Government effort should
be made to discourage the use of tobacco in any forms as well as to raise awareness
about itsharmful and deadly effects (WHO, 2006). However, in order to maintain
profit, tobacco companies continue to develop new products. These companies cover
the tobacco products’ harmful effects by portraying tobacco products as attractive and

engage youth, or how youth were likely to respond. Advocates attempting to develop

that include themes of health effects may increase the likelihood that fewer youth
would smoke in the future. Message content format and approach must be considered
to have a successful anti-smoking campaign. Personal and real life testimonials could
be helpful to get the attention of the intended audience. These would serve as
evidences of the hazards imposed by smoking and would serve as warning to the
The Philippines is part of the WHO FCTC. The Republic Act of 9211(RA 9211) or
