On behalf of DOST-FNRI, we would like to apologize for the delay in our response as we cannot log in properly to this account for several months already. You asked for Smoking Prevalence from 1990 - 2018. Response to your request We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. You may retrieve your requested information from our enutrition website using this link http://enutrition.fnri.dost.gov.ph/site/puf.php?year=2015 and then click the clinical survey component. Your right to request a review If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to Secretary Fortunato T. Dela Pena. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response, and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date when you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.
