Philippine police say will arrest anyone flouting vaping ban

Philippine police were ordered Wednesday to arrest anyone caught vaping in public, just hours after Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced he would ban e-cigarettes.The abrupt prohibition, revealed by Duterte late Tuesday adds to a growing global backlash against a product once promoted as less harmful than tobacco smoking.Duterte, a former smoker, called the devices "toxic" and said vaping introduced "chemicals" into the user's body.
