MANILA, Philippines - Participants to the Tobacco Control Summit 2011 organized by the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines (FCAP) and the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) were one in their call for President Benigno Aquino III to stop smoking and lead the Philippines into becoming a tobacco-free country.
FCAP board member Bobby del Rosario and and Dr. Rlorante Trinidad, technical officer of the
World Health Organization's (WHO) Tobacco-Free Initiative, said although Aquino may have difficulty in stopping from smoking, he should at least declare that smoking is bad for one's health and support anti-smoking policies.
FCAP also called on the President to rid Filipinos of the harmful effects of second-hand smoke by enacting laws that will prevent smoking in public.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Department of Health are alarmed over the increasing number of smokers in the Philippines.
Despite tobacco control efforts in the country, 17.3 million Filipinos now smoke, and almost 2/3 of the adults and children are exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke.
Trinidad said tobacco use is rising in the country, as shown by the number of Filipinos aged 13-15 years old who are currently smoking, which increased to 22.7% from only 15.9% in 2003.
He said the trend is also noticeable among young girls.
Tobacco kills 87,600 Filipinos per year, and 240 deaths are recorded every day, he said.
Trinidad added that 1/3 of them are men in the most productive age of their lives.
He said the increasing number of smokers is a consistent trend in developing countries like the Philippines, whose anti-smoking laws are not as strict as those in developed countries.

Quit Smoking - 10 Filipinos Die Every Hour Due to Smoking
By Sol Aragones, ABS-CBN News
MANILA, Philippines - Emer Rojas, 53, uses an electronic larynx whenever he has to speak.
It's been 9 years since he was first diagnosed with stage 4 laryngeal cancer.
He started smoking when he was just 17. Now, he regrets not being able to kick the habit.
"Mahirap. You have to exert effort. Kapag maingay, 'di ka na maintindihan. 'Di na rin ako nakakatawa dahil wala ng hangin," Rojas said.
According to Dr. Encarnita Limpin of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance, Philippines (FCAP), aside from cancer, smokers are prone to strokes and heart attacks.
"Kahit isang benepisyo walang makukuha sa sigarilyo dahil may 7,000 chemicals ito na nakakasama," said Limpin.
Experts said just one pull from a cigarette is already bad for your health.
Chemicals like nicotine will immediately be taken into the system through air passages, the lungs and veins.
Sickness begins when the substances spread and circulate throughout the body.
According to records of the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization, 10 Filipinos die every hour due to smoking. That's over 80,000 Filipinos every year.
This is why the DOH is pushing that graphic images of the negative effects of smoking be placed on cigarette packs.
The agency also wants to start a campaign to urge smokers to quit the habit.

Quit Smoking - Smoking, Couch-Potato Lifestyles Boost Cancer Risks

From ABS-CBN News:
PARIS - Two studies released on Wednesday highlighted the risks and benefits of lifestyle choices in combatting cancer, showing the dangers of smoking for post-menopausal women and exercise's protective effect on the bowel.
Post-menopausal women who smoke, or who used to smoke, face an up to 16% higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to women who have never smoked, according to a paper published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ).
Women who have been extensively exposed to passive smoking, either as children or in adulthood, could also be at greater risk of breast cancer, it added.
However, this apparent risk does not apply to women who were only moderately exposed to second-hand smoke.
The study covered almost 80,000 US women aged between 50 and 79 who were followed for 10 years.
In a separate investigation published in the British Journal of Cancer, people with an active lifestyle were found to be up to three times less likely to develop large bowel growths, known as polyps, which are often a precursor for cancer.
The conclusion is based on an overview of 20 published studies.
"We've long known that an active lifestyle can protect against bowel cancer, but this study is the first to look at all the available evidence and show that a reduction in bowel polyps is the most likely explanation for this," said lead author Kathleen Wolin of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.
"Exercise has many benefits, including boosting the immune system, decreasing inflammation in the bowel and helping to reduce insulin levels -- all factors which we know are likely to have an effect on bowel polyp risk."
Half an hour's "moderate" exercise per day -- anything that leads to a slight shortage of breath -- and maintaining a reasonable weight are keys to reducing the risk of bowel cancer, said Cancer Research UK, which publishes the journal.
To quit smoking is definitely a wise choice. Associate more pleasure in quitting smoking and enjoying a healthy lifestyle than in smoking. Decide today!

Quit Smoking - Nicotine-Free 'Fake' Cigarettes May Help Smokers Quit

Article from WebMD:
May 13, 2011 -- Nicotine-free plastic inhalers -- fake cigarettes that allow people to simulate smoking -- may increase some smokers’ odds of quitting smoking, a study shows.
Unlike electronic or "e-cigarettes," the nicotine-free inhalers are billed in Europe as aids for people who are trying to quit smoking that can be used in conjunction with nicotine replacement, drugs for smoking cessation, and counseling.
The study is published online in the European Respiratory Journal.
Italian researchers studied 120 smokers who were enrolled in a program to help them quit smoking. All participants were regular smokers of at least 20 cigarettes a day for at least 10 years.
All participants were also treated with a nicotine patch, bupropion (sold in the U.S. as Zyban), and counseling.
They were divided into two groups, with one set of participants receiving the plastic inhalers, and the others following the usual program.
Questionnaires were used to determine the participants’ physical and behavioral dependence on cigarettes. After 24 weeks they were asked if they had been successful in attempts to abstain from smoking.
Quit-Smoking Success Rates
There was no significant difference in the quit rates of the two groups. But people who were found to be more behaviorally dependent on cigarettes had a threefold higher success rate when using the inhaler.
People who were identified as being most heavily dependent on the behavioral pattern of smoking had a quit rate of 66.7% in the group using the plastic inhalers, compared with 19.2% in the other group.
Researchers say that the results indicate that for smokers who rely on the handling of a cigarette as a behavioral pattern, nicotine-free inhalers could increase their chance of success when trying to quit.
"By showing a clear predictive association between the measure of behavioral dependence and relapse, our study is the first to reveal that the concept of behavioral addiction can be exploited as a useful clinical tool for many smokers to quit," Riccardo Polosa, MD, PhD, a professor at the
University of Catania, says in a news release.
Polosa, who is also director of the University Institute of Internal Medicine and Clinical Immunology at Catania, says the research results "will open up a potentially novel area of research in smoking cessation."
Cigarette Alternative?
The inhalers used in the study, unlike e-cigarettes, consist of a fiber sponge filter plug soaked in naturally extracted herbal aroma oil and encased in a plastic cartridge container similar to a cigarette.
The FDA decided in April 2011 to oversee electronic cigarettes the same way it does tobacco products. E-cigarettes are powered by a battery and a liquid nicotine mixture derived from tobacco is converted into a vapor that can be inhaled.
But the device used in the study contains no nicotine. The device is called "Paipo," and its manufacturer claims it is safe for anyone using it.
"Smokers trying to quit have to cope not only with the pharmacologic aspect of nicotine addiction but also with the psychological components associated with tobacco dependence," the researchers. "Smoking is much more than the addicting effect of nicotine; the smoking habit is also the rituals that each smoker associates with his/her habit."
The plastic cigarettes are intended to substitute for the psychological part of addiction.
An online advertisement for Paipo bills the product as a "cigarette alternative" and says that even though people don’t light it, "it feels like the real thing."
The researchers say they received free supplies of the Paipo inhalers for the study, but do not report any other disclosures.
Now I know that there are two smoking alternatives, e-cigarettes and the inhaler types of smoking alternative. The question is, will it really make you quit smoking quick and safe?
Quit Smoking - Nicotine Addiction
"Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times" this famous quote of Mark Twain sums up the problems a lot of people have when trying to quit...they just can't stick to it.
The problem is that smoking is an addiction like any other, as nicotine is in fact a drug. The addiction to nicotine is not the only danger, as it is in fact a poison.
Nicotine is the natural drug found in tobacco and is as addictive as cocaine or heroin. The dependency will be both physical and emotional; both needing to be dealt with when quitting smoking.
As smoke is inhaled, nicotine enters deep into the lungs, from where it is carried throughout the body via the bloodstream.
Nicotine will affect many parts of the body; blood vessels, heart, brain, metabolism and hormones. It is particularly harmful during pregnancy, as it can be present in breast milk and in cervical fluids as well as placenta, amniotic fluids and the blood in the umbilical cord which in turn feeds into the newborn child.
Inhaling cigarette smoke will send nicotine to the brain quicker than any drugs taken intravenously. Like any other drug, the body eventually develops tolerance, thereby needing larger doses to calm the craving. Quitting smoking will cause the same kind of withdrawal symptoms from the addiction to nicotine that drug addicts experience when quitting their chosen poison.
Whatever your age or the length of time you've been smoking, don't think it's too late in life for you to quit: smokers who quit around age 50 can still cut the risk of dying in the following 15 years by 50%, compared with those who continue to smoke.
Addiction to nicotine should be treated like any other drug addiction, so when quitting smoking be prepared for similar problems. Nicotine patches or chewing gum will only really delay the inevitable; you'll be avoiding many of the other chemicals found in cigarette smoke, but you are still feeding your body nicotine, so are not really making any inroads into your addiction to nicotine. Quitting smoking cold turkey is the only sure answer and will bring with it some problems, particularly in those long-term smokers.
The body will take its time to eject nicotine and other chemicals; sometimes only a couple of days but at other times several weeks. Addiction to nicotine is caused by the pleasant feelings (known as dopamine high) experienced by the smoker, which then lead to them wanting to smoke more. The nervous system begins to adapt to the nicotine intake and increases the amount of nicotine in the blood. As the body begins to get used to the amount of nicotine, it will start to demand more, hence we get into the cycle of addiction.
The poison in nicotine is enough to kill a human with just a few drops in its purest form, although to take in that much in one go by smoking you would have to smoke about 100 cigarettes all at once (together, not one after the other) Even so, that is some nasty poison to take into your system!
Quitting smoking and addiction to nicotine does not need to be terribly difficult; there are quit smoking plans and systems to help you on your way, some of which make it incredibly easy. Find the right method for you and stick with it; you are on your way to a much healthier, more enjoyable life.

Quit Smoking - Australia Proposes Tough Cigarette Packaging Rules
via Flickr (estherase) |
SYDNEY (AP) — Tobacco companies in Australia will be forced to strip all logos from their cigarette packages and replace them with graphic images such as cancer-riddled mouths and sickly children under legislation unveiled Thursday — a move the government says will make Australia the world's toughest country on tobacco advertising.
The law would remove one of the tobacco companies' last methods of advertising by banning them from printing their logos, promotional text or colorful images on cigarette packs. Instead, brand names will be printed in a small, uniform font, and the packets will be a dull olive green — a color the government believes consumers will hate.
"This plain packaging legislation is a world first and sends a clear message that the glamour is gone — cigarette packs will now only show the death and disease that can come from smoking," Health Minister Nicola Roxon said in a statement. "The new packs have been designed to have the lowest appeal to smokers and to make clear the terrible effects that smoking can have on your health."
Tobacco companies have been fighting the legislation and threatening legal action since the government first announced its plan last year. The law would be phased in over six months, starting in January 2012.
The legality of the measure and whether it violates trademark laws is a matter of debate among experts.British American Tobacco, which produces several cigarette brands including Winfield, Dunhill and Benson, will probably launch legal action against the government over the legislation, spokesman Scott McIntyre said.
"What company would stand for having its brands, which are worth billions, taken away from them?" McIntyre said. "A large brewing company or fast food chain certainly wouldn't and we're no different."
Smoking rates have been declining in Australia for years, but the government says cigarettes still kill 15,000 Australians a year and cost the country about $31.5 billion annually.
Tobacco advertising on billboards and in magazines has long been banned and restrictions on smoking in public places, including restaurants and bars, are common.
Public health advocates said the move to strip packages of their enticing images goes one critical step further, and will have a particularly big impact on children.
"Our research shows that the look of the pack is an important consideration for young people at risk of being drawn to smoking," Ian Olver, CEO of Cancer Council Australia, said in a statement. "So this move by the Australian government has the potential to be one of the most significant public health measures in recent history."
Other countries, such as Britain and Canada, have considered packaging restrictions in the past, but none of the measures has passed, in part because of legal questions.
The government is required under the constitution to pay compensation to anyone from whom it takes or devalues property, including intellectual property such as trademarks. But opinions are split on what the implications of those rules, and international trade laws, are in the case of cigarette packages.
Matthew Rimmer, a legal expert at The Australian National University, said the government is fully within its power to regulate the packaging of tobacco products.
"Trademarks are a government grant and governments always retain the capacity to regulate that grant," said Rimmer, who wrote a paper urging plain packaging of cigarettes in 2008. "So historically they've always had the provisions, for instance, to ban trademarks on certain things that are contrary to law."
Tim Wilson, an intellectual property and free trade expert at the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia, disagrees, saying the measure would violate international trademark and intellectual property regulations. Stripping the tobacco companies' logos from packaging diminishes the value of their trademarks, which is against the law, he said.
Threats of legal action from the tobacco industry will do nothing to dissuade the government from moving forward with the plan, said Roxon, the health minister.
"We believe we are on very strong legal grounds," she told journalists in Sydney. "We're not going to have 'big tobacco' scaring us with legal action. We want to make sure that the glamour that might have been attached to smoking in the past is dead and gone."
Do you think this will push through? Well, in a future post we will include a sample of an Autralian campaign against smoking. So if I were you, I'd quit smoking today!
Quit Smoking - Today!

Once you have decided to quit smoking today, you have over come the biggest hurdle, as trying to quit without really wanting to, is not going to be easy. The decision to quit gives way to new questions: How to start, what can you eat/drink to help, how to lessen cravings... it's not really as difficult as you think; once you've made your mind up to quit smoking today, it's just like going on a diet. A little more difficult of course, as smoking is an addiction and like any other addiction, is very tough to break.
Try to set yourself a routine of diet and exercise and other aids, and stick to it. During the first 72 hours or so you will need to drink plenty of acidic fruit juice to help remove the alkaloid nicotine buildup in your body and to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
The best of these is cranberry juice, which will do the job whilst supplying your body with an abundance of vitamins and nutrients.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are a must, along with whole grains, seeds and nuts. You should be able to avoid gaining too much weight if you eat sensibly; weight gain is often associated with quitting smoking, this is because not only are you inclined to eat more to help stave off cravings, but smoking increases the metabolic rate and you will burn calories quicker, so obviously when you first quit you should try to adjust your calorie intake, at least until the metabolism returns to normal.
The best way to quit smoking is to take it one day at a time; follow an exercise routine, even if it's only walking, and find something to keep you occupied in idle moments. Many smokers agree that it's not only the craving for nicotine, but what to do with their hands when not working or otherwise occupied. Depending on your skills, try sketching (or just doodle drawing) knitting, writing; anything which keeps hands busy. Keeping a diary or journal is a good idea, as not only does it give your hands something to do, but you can keep an account of your progress; how you felt, how difficult/easy the day had been, things you had to eat or drink and how they helped, and so on. Open with "I decided to quit smoking today" and on each day re-affirm your commitment to quit.
You will definitely need something to snack or nibble on throughout the day, so arm yourself with plenty of healthy low-cal snacks: grapes and cherries are good, or cherry tomatoes (anything small which you can pick at individually) or sticks of celery are ideal, as not only will celery help calm cravings, but the body actually burns calories while digesting it! So there's a double bonus in eating celery.
The decision to quit smoking today was a difficult one to take, but having done so proves that you have strength of character and willpower, so you should be able to stick to your plan without too much difficulty. Trial and error will find the best way to quit smoking for you, but if you decide you need help, then that's okay too. There is always a solution, an easy way to quit smoking today.
Quit Smoking - E-Cigarettes the Better Alternative, now in the Philippines!
Great news for all cigarette and non-cigarette smokers. At long last, the answer to a clean, healthy and safe smoke-free environment has finally arrived in the country, in full-support of the Department of Health’s (DOH) anti-lung cancer and healthy heart campaign. Electronic-Cigarette –dubbed the “healthier alternative to smoking” was recently launched in the Philippines by an all-Filipino owned firm – Denkat Trading, whose mission is provide Filipinos who ‘love the habit of smoking’ break its deadly side effects to healthy long life via what is considered a ‘healthier-option’ to smoking tobacco products –cigarettes, cigars or pipes. This world-famous electronic cigarette is a battery-powered device that provides inhaled doses of non-nicotine vaporized solution commonly called the ‘E-Juice’ or ‘E-Liquid’ which in turn, eliminates cancer substances that has led many a smoker to develop deadly cancer cells that attacks people regardless of age factor.
It also protects non-smokers from inhaling 2nd hand smoke that is bad for both the lungs and the heart, plus prevents the formation of yellow teeth (often called ‘smokers teeth’), the proliferation of air-pollution that hampers free-flow of oxygen, and is non-fire hazard. Aside from its health-factors, E-cigarette users get to save almost P14,000 per year, based on a two-pack per day consumption for one-year.
Free demonstration and digital display of E-Cigarettes may be seen at the following venues: 3rd Floor, Robinson’s Place Manila, M. Adriatico Street, Malate, Manila; 2nd Floor, Centermall (2 Bldg.) Tutuban Mall, CM Recto street, Manila; 1st Floor, 1S01 Phase 5 Bldg. 168 Shopping Mall, Soler street, Sta. Cruz, Manila and at SM Sta. Mesa 1st Floor, Ramon Magsaysay Street, Quezon City. Interested health enthusiasts may receive free info/data on the BFAD-Approved Denkat Electronic Cigaretes, via its Secretariat Office @ 257-0459/577-1962 or visit www.pcrus.ph.
Quit Smoking - Health Risks of Smoking
via Flickr |
Most people are fully aware that smoking can lead to lung cancer, but in fact the health risks in smoking are much further reaching.
Cancer of the lungs is only one of the risks run by smokers. Smoking is a high risk factor for several kinds of cancer including mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, bladder, cervix and stomach as well as some types of leukemia.
As well as cancer, smoking can cause other lung diseases as in pneumonia, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. These diseases which come under the term of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD can cause chronic illness and disabilities and can also be fatal. Long-term smokers carry the highest risk of COPDs
Vascular disease: narrowing or clogging of blood vessels can lead to all kinds of problems. Peripheral vascular disease affects blood vessels feeding the leg and arm muscles.
Problems in the blood vessels feeding the heart can lead to heart disease and heart attacks, and blocked vessels to the brain can cause a stroke. Men who smoke can find blood vessel disease will cause erectile dysfunction.
Eyesight can be affected by smoking: health risks in smoking include increased risk of macular degeneration, sometimes leading to blindness. Also premature ageing and wrinkling of the skin, halitosis or bad breath, tooth and gum disease, yellowing and brittle fingernails, not to mention revolting smelling hair and clothes.
Expectant or nursing mothers have some unique health risks in smoking, to themselves as well as the new life they are carrying. Women (particularly over 35) who smoke and also take oral contraceptives have a very high risk of heart attack, stroke and thrombosis. Smoking carries a high risk of miscarriage or babies born underweight; which are more likely to have physical problems, learning difficulties or even risk of death. Nicotine can be passed into breast milk as well as cervical fluids, amniotic fluids and umbilical cord.
One of the main health risks in smoking is a shortening of life expectancy: the CDC estimates an adult male will lose an average of 13.2 years of life and females 14.5 years, due to smoking. Add to that the risk of diseases during their lifetime which can impair the quality of life long before that. Even without contracting a disease, smoker’s activities are limited by difficulties in breathing and moving around, both at work and play.
The health benefits in quitting are more than just decreasing the health risks in smoking:
Just 20 minutes after quitting your blood pressure will drop and your heart rate decrease
2 hours afterwards the carbon monoxide level in the blood returns to normal
Between two weeks and three months after quitting, blood circulation will improve and lung function increase.
Anywhere between one and nine months after quitting you will notice a marked decrease in coughing and shortness of breath. Lungs will start to regain their normal cilia function (these are hair-fine elements in the lungs that dispel mucus) and increase their ability to handle mucus and reduce risk of infection. The lungs will begin to be cleansed from the inside.
After the first year of not smoking, you have reduced the risk of ordinary heart disease by half, compared to a smoker.
Five years on, your risk of stroke is reduced dramatically, and between 5-15 years the risk will be the same as that of a non-smoker.
After 10 years the death rate from lung cancer is reduced by half, compared to a continuing smoker.
Apart from the health risks in smoking, what about the money you spend? Look at the price you spend a day on cigarettes and multiply that by 365. Wow! How much do you spend in a year! Multiply it by 10, and think what you could have done with all that money instead of burning it over 10 years!
All this cost, along with the health risks in smoking must surely give you reason to quit. Find yourself a quit smoking plan and start it right away!

Quit Smoking - President Noynoy Aquino Won't Quit Smoking
via Flickr (chardinet) |
President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III of the Liberal Party said he would no longer debate about his smoking habit with groups seeking to make him an anti-smoking poster boy.
And he isn’t quitting either – at least not at this time.
Aquino bared that he could finish a pack a day, and the most that he did was three packs due to tension during the snap elections in 1985.
Aquino pointed out that he ran and won with the people knowing that he was a smoker. His brand is Marlboro Lights menthol.
“At the appropriate time, I will stop. So long as I am within the law and I don’t inconvenience other people, I think this is part of the little freedom left for me,” Aquino said.
Aquino said he was not ready to quit because of the pressures of the job he is about to undertake and quitting smoking would add “unnecessary pressure” on him and affect his performance.
Told that it was for his own good, Aquino said he was aware of the health risks of smoking but “there is the so-called bad stress that I might experience.”
At least he was aware of the health risks of smoking, but I think he'll resort to quit smoking if he knew how easy and fast it is as said by an expert here. A lot of debate is going on in quitting smoking in general. Especially here in the Philippines where smoking advertisements lurk in various media.
