On May 30, according to foreign news reports, Ishraq Dhaly, one of the conveners of the Voice of Electronic Cigarettes in Bangladesh, stated that his opposition to electronic cigarettes stems from ignorance of the latest scientific discoveries of electronic cigarettes.

"This can cause harm. E-cigarettes can help Bangladesh achieve its smoke-free goal by 2040. E-cigarettes are the perfect tool to achieve this goal, because according to the best medical research, it is 95% safer than smoking," he said.

Dhaly refers to research conducted by the Department of Public Health (PHE), which is the executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care. In 2015, PHE found in a landmark review that e-cigarettes are about 95% less harmful than tobacco.

Suchumann Zaman, chairman of the Bangladesh Electronic Nicotine Delivery System Traders Association (BENDSTA), said that many people choose e-cigarettes as a tool for smoking cessation, because e-cigarettes are much less harmful. But misinformation about e-cigarettes is common and very destructive.

"E-cigarettes help smokers quit smoking, thereby protecting them from the long-term hazards of smoking. E-cigarettes are 95% safer than smoking. It does not contain carcinogens, tar, etc. This is a worthy trade-off. We must understand that this is to reduce harm." Zaman said.

He emphasized that e-cigarettes are only for smokers. "We will never advocate smoking e-cigarettes for non-smokers. What we want is for smokers to quit smoking by using e-cigarettes. This is the role of e-cigarettes. This has nothing to do with fashion. E-cigarettes have the potential to save many lives." Man said.

Professor Mithun Alamgir, head of the Department of Community Medicine at Enam School of Medicine, said that deaths caused by smoking are a silent global epidemic that people cannot see. "In epidemiological language, we call smoking a first-degree carcinogen. All the most effective substances that cause cancer are among them. This is very deadly because thousands of chemical substances are produced when tobacco is burned. We can identify some, But it is difficult to determine all of these. How do we save ourselves, the answer is to quit smoking completely." Alamgir said.

Alamgir said that the most effective way is to use e-cigarettes. "There are many ways to quit smoking. Various nicotine replacement therapies are being used. However, e-cigarettes have taken a revolutionary step for public health in helping smokers quit smoking." He said.

Musician, anchor and producer Jewel shared his personal experience of starting to smoke e-cigarettes after receiving treatment for a serious illness. "I received strict treatment. Doctors in Bangkok and London told me that I must quit smoking. They suggested that I switch to e-cigarettes to help me quit smoking successfully." Jewel said.

World Electronic Cigarette Day (WVD) will be celebrated on May 30. Held under the slogan "#Go The Extra Mile" this year, the purpose of this day is to raise people's awareness of e-cigarettes as a smoker's harm reduction tool.
