Assessing industry compliance with the graphic health warnings law in the Philippines: challenges in multisectoral tobacco governance
Compliance with the GHW Law in the Philippines is low. Challenges in enforcement include ambiguous roles among agencies, weak monitoring of illicit products and inconsistencies in regulatory guidelines. Strengthening enforcement and clarifying agency responsibilities could improve compliance. Implementing plain packaging and involving local governments in monitoring may simplify and improve compliance.
