to strengthen the implementation of the DepEd

Order No. 48, s. 2016 or the Policy and

Guidelines on Comprehensive Tobacco Control.
The project’s name can mean two things: One, that
the school is on a fight (LA BAN) against tobacco. And
two, that this fight is won through the School’s bans
(eskweLA BAN) on
tobacco.
 The strict implementation of the school’s
bans contained in DepEd Order no. 48, s.
2016, or the Policy and Guidelines on
Comprehensive Tobacco Control is our
strong declaration of the school’s fight
against tobacco.
 THIS PROJECT AIMS TO
Help schools win their fight against tobacco by
building their capacity to implement the following
tobacco control policies and bans, contained in the
Policy and Guidelines on Comprehensive Tobacco
Control.
THE POLICY BANS
In partnership with the Tobacco-Free
Kids Action Fund, the Department of
Education is conducting a series of
activities to strengthen the
implementation of the Policy and
Guidelines on Comprehensive
Tobacco Control.

Prohibition on the distribution of samples of tobacco
products to minors;

Ban on tobacco sponsorships of any school activity;

Prohibition on public officials against receiving any form of
contribution directly or indirectly from the tobacco industry;

measures such as reporting interactions with the tobacco
industry, disclosing interests in the tobacco industry, and
refusing or rejecting any offers or contributions from the
tobacco industry.

Cessation interventions;
Collaborations, partnerships, and linkages;
