Asked about their stand on Duterte’s EO on no-smoking policy, 85 percent of respondents answered “yes,” while only 8 percent picked “no.” Seven percent answered “depends.”
The poll garnered a total of 613 votes.
The Department of Health earlier said Duterte was set to issue the EO on smoking ban sometime within the month.
