FDA reminds physicians to avoid being engaged by tobacco, e-cigarette companies

“Please advise all physicians, especially in the rank of Medical Officer, Medical Specialist, and Scientist, to deny all requests to engage with the tobacco industry,” the FDA stated in its advisory no. 2019-501.

“Such engagements are inimical to the concord of medicine and public health, and reflect poorly on our commitment to protect the Filipino people from harm,” it added. The FDA said that it received reports that electronic cigarette companies are attempting to recruit some physicians, from both the private and public sector, “in disinformation campaigns that promote electronic cigarette use as viable harm reduction options.”

“Please understand that e-cigarettes have been proven to introduce new risk above and over those already present in traditional combustible cigarettes,” the agency said. “Both reduced exposure and reduced risk claims in favor of e-cigarettes have been debunked, leading to a call from the American Medical Association to ban these products until approved and regulated by the US-FDA,” it added.
