                    [Summary] => "If you don’t smoke, make a stand or die." 


This was the call of anti-smoking advocates as they warned that passive smoke is six times more toxic than first-hand smoke. 


Dr. Encarnita Limpin, president of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Alliance Philippines, said that non-smokers should learn to stand against smokers if they want to protect themselves. 


Limpin noted that being around a smoker could take a toll on one’s health because the smoke produced is deadlier.

The Department of Health (DOH) has recently inked a memorandum of agreement with Sari-Sari chain of shops, which now sells "Tobacco-Free Fashion" — t-shirts bearing anti-tobacco slogans and caricatures.


Dr. Jessica de Leon, DOH’s advocacy manager for its anti-smoking program, said they expect the "Tobacco-Free Fashion" to introduce a new lifestyle for fashion-conscious Filipinos.

The health chief "said that doctors should act as models… But the DOH has no control over doctors so it’s more of a request, not an order," De Leon said.
