The support contained in Sanggunian Resolution No. 402-2009 authored by Board Member Aquino W. Gambe, says that Senate Bill No. 2377 and House Bill No. 3364 which seek the placing of pictures of the ill-effects of smoking in public places is just  appropriate since it is more visual and could easily register to one’s mind especially those who are into the vice.                          

Gambe said that this is the best way to further enhance the government’s effort in promoting awareness to illiterates and people in far-flung areas..             

“It intends to provide awareness to the public, especially the youth, about the ill-effects of smoking to one’s health and to promote healthy living to all Filipinos all over the country,” he added. (BFCeballos)
