Cigarette smoking and the pandemic: why e-cigarettes and their regulated use is seen as the way to stem tobacco use

The ongoing pandemic has brought to the fore critical issues concerning our health – be it physical or mental – especially in a country like the Philippines that is hard hit by COVID-19. As reported by The Lancet, “the longstanding battle with infectious diseases has been compounded with the rise in non-communicable diseases due to lifestyle changes and an increase in risk behaviors.”

Among these risk behaviors, cigarette smoking can be considered one of the most detrimental to one’s health, more so in light of how tobacco kills approximately 87,600 Filipinos per—240 deaths per day—per The Union in their report.

Even more worrisome, the World Bank notes that around 25% of all deaths related to heart disease and 80% of lung cancer deaths are caused by smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. Health experts also stress that smokers are at a higher risk of developing severe COVID-19 symptoms.

February is for taking care of your mouth too!

This Oral Health Month, learn about mouth sores and how to better care for your mouth

Everybody knows that February is the month of love, but did you know that it’s also Oral Health Month? Starting out as National Dental Health Week back in 1951 and expanding into a month-long celebration by 2004, Oral Health Month’s goal is to encourage the public to take care of their oral health, as well as urge those in the dental services sector to reach out to communities with limited access to dental care.

This year is a little different. Because of the pandemic, many individuals are not able to visit their dentist as regularly as before. That is why this year’s Oral Health Month theme is “Brushing is a Must, Kahit Naka-Mask”, to reiterate the importance of oral health, especially during a time when face-to-face dental services and check-ups are difficult to avail.
