KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 14 — A national body representing doctors in private practice in Malaysia once again asked the Ministry of Health to “consider the science of harm reduction before rushing ahead with the generation endgame .”

He added that GPs know “that it is not only the nicotine dependence/addiction that makes quitting cigarettes difficult. Some smoke for stress relief and other psycho-social pleasure.” “There are many credible studies with supporting evidence for harm reduction. Public Health England and the Royal College of Physicians have authoritative reports documenting overwhelming scientific data that harm reduction efforts can work with proper regulatory framework in place,” said Dr Chow.
