The ban, which covers both indoor and outdoor smoking, carries a maximum penalty of four months in jail and a fine of $100, according to a presidential spokesman.
Under the new law, tobacco cannot be sold within 100 meters (330 feet) of schools, playgrounds or anywhere that children might gather.
Designated smoking areas will be set up for adults, but must be at least 10 metres away from building entrances or exits.
Duterte had earlier last year promised to crack down on vices such as smoking and illegal gambling.
