On November 8, according to foreign media reports from Gewu Consumers, the African Tobacco Harm Reduction Forum hosted by the Safer Tobacco Alternatives Campaign (CASA) discussed Kenya’s ban on e-cigarette products and lip tobacco products (ONDS), calling them a number. Thousands of people's journey to quit smoking set a stumbling block.

"Kenya is already behind the rest of the world in terms of reducing tobacco hazards (THR), and the Kenyan government is still preventing 30,000 smokers from quitting, and there is no room for them," CASA chairman Joseph Magero said in the webinar.

"Kenya's ongoing smoking cessation or death, tobacco control policies ignore the reality that many smokers find it impossible to quit smoking completely, even if they want to quit smoking. However, the emergence of harm-reducing products such as e-cigarettes and lip cigarettes provides them with A safer alternative, a road away from cigarettes, and a higher probability of achieving a smoke-free future."

The lip pouch is a tea bag-like pouch, which is placed under the upper lip for about 15 to 30 minutes according to your preferred nicotine dosage. Although similar to snuff, they have the added benefit of being tobacco-free and odorless. Unlike snuff, they do not require spitting.

The biological activity of the lipstick may be lower than that of cigarettes and snuff BAT in 2020 (not independent). The study showed that the biological activity of the lipstick is lower than that of cigarette smoke and snuff, even in a higher concentration of nicotine environment and a series of tests The same is true in China.

In fact, in many attempts, lip smoke did not cause a biological response at all, so the researchers concluded that they are safer than traditional cigarettes and Swedish snuff. Also last year, British American Tobacco announced that it would start a new factory with 2.5 billion shillings and start producing house tobacco pouches in Kenya. The plan is to trade under the Lyft brand and target the African market.

However, civil society lobby groups such as the Kenyan Ministry of Health and the International Legislative Affairs Institute boycotted the sale of these products and asked the Kenyan government to announce an e-cigarette and lip smoking ban in October 2020.

At the same time, an article pointed out that there are more than 77 million smokers in Africa, and more than 250,000 people die from smoking-related diseases every year. In Kenya alone, about 30,000 people die from smoking every year.

Lip tobacco products are "ideal substitutes" for cigarettes. In line with the argument of public health experts, a study found that smokers trying to quit smoking welcome lip cigarettes as "ideal substitutes" for traditional cigarettes.

Sadly, the study revealed that when nicotine bags were banned, many users started smoking again. "Compared with cigarettes, lip cigarettes have shown their ability to help millions of adult smokers switch from dangerous traditional cigarettes to low-risk e-cigarette products and kitchen cigarettes.

In Africa and the world, e-cigarettes and lip cigarettes have great potential to prevent cigarette-related diseases and premature death," said Dr. Deron Human, CEO of the African Tobacco Harm Reduction Alliance (AHRA).
