Published July 11, 2021, 2:50 PM A renowned Filipino family doctor pushes tobacco harm reduction (THR) as a public health strategy to help reduce the risks faced by around 17 million Filipino smokers. Dr. Lorenzo Mata Jr., president of advocacy group Quit For Good, said vapes and heated tobacco products that are considerably less harmful alternatives should not be taken off the shelves while the very much harmful combustible cigarettes remain easily accessible. “The harm reduction potential of electronic vapor products should be maximized instead and regulated to minimize the risk to the youth and the non-smokers,” Dr. Mata said during the 4th Asia Harm Reduction Forum held virtually from Manila on June 28, 2021.
