LESS HARMFUL ALTERNATIVE TO MANAGE SMOKING HABIT

Vape can save government RM1.33 Billion on smoking-related treatment cost

THE adoption of tobacco harm reduction (THR) strategies can be a game changer in managing the smoking prevalence in Malaysia as revealed in the Datametrics Research & Information Centre’s (DARE) recent report, Clearing the Smoke: Tobacco Harm Reduction.

Efforts such as regulating and encouraging smokers to switch to vape as a less harmful alternative can reduce the smoking population in Malaysia to some four million by 2025.
