ダバオ市では2019年1月から10月までに、10,044人の喫煙禁止条例違反者を数えた。ダバオ地方警察署（ Police Regional Office Davao 以下PROダバオ）の地方業務管理部は、地方全体では合計16,564人の逮捕、罰則適用が確認されたと発表した。
市の喫煙禁止条例は、公共の場所や宿泊施設、職場や娯楽施設、さらに囲われていない個人宅の敷地内なども含む、かなり厳しい範囲で喫煙を禁止するものだ。
また現在、フィリピン国内では電子タバコが若者の間で流行している。それを受けドゥテルテ大統領は今年、電子タバコの輸入禁止令を発令した。PROダバオは11月1日から24日までの間に、自宅で電子タバコの宅配を受け取った若者1,072人に罰則を課したという。
ダバオ市はフィリピン国内でも最もタバコに厳しい街だ。しかし下町では喫煙マナーは未だに浸透しておらず、さらに電子タバコも流行の兆しを見せている。厳しいドゥテルテ大統領のこと、追加の罰則規定が定められる日は近いかもしれない。

Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
