Secretary Francisco Duque III said that all public and private hospitals as well as health professionals would start recording the history of tobacco and e-cigarette use among patients, especially those with respiratory illnesses. All acutely ill patients who have used e-cigarettes in the last 90 days, with other plausible causes for illness, will be recorded as cases of vaping-related disease. Sec. Duque also said the data to be gathered from the hospitals would be used for future policy directions for electronic gadgets.
