Vaping habit a burning issue

One reason for this may be the report by United States' authorities about 33 deaths and 1,479 confirmed and probable cases from a"mysterious" respiratory illness linked to vaping.

The Malaysian Health Ministry has said that it has not found any evidence or study indicating that the use e-cigarettes is safe to treat addiction to smoking.It is in this scenario that Seoul recently hosted the 3rd Asia Harm Reduction Forum . Dr Konstantinos Farsalinos, a cardiologist and researcher at Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, University of Patras and National School of Public Health in Greece, said tobacco harm reduction was a necessity and should be considered in curbing the smoking habit.

"We don't simply jump to the conclusion that we should not ride, drive or have sex at all because of the risk that we may face. However, we are trying to figure out the feasible measures that we can take to solve these matters. Hence, this should be done for smoking too," he told Bernama.Dr Farsalinos cautioned that illegal products bought in the black market and on the streets can be"very dangerous".

"It is not a mysterious disease; it is basically acute poisoning, in the same way that you get poisoned when eating contaminated food. Using illegal products to vape means you have no assurance about the safety or product quality," he said. "If you tell them that e-cigarettes are as harmful as smoking, then they may very well choose to smoke because it is the same thing. If you tell people who are already smoking that e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes are the same, then why would they try to make the switch? That is why we cannot lie to the public. I find it completely irresponsible and inappropriate," he said.
