Misinformation in HPTL Products, APPNINDO: Collaboration is Needed!

Hello Bigboss! How are you today? I hope you are always healthy, your sustenance is abundant, and all your activities are made easy!

In February 2021, Public Health England also published its seventh independent report summarizing the latest evidence on e-cigarettes. And in 2020, 27.2% of people used e-cigarettes as an aid to quit smoking within 12 months, compared to 15.5% who used nicotine replacement therapy and 4.4% who used varenicline.

According to Roy Lefrans, Chairman of APPNINDO (Indonesian Electronic Nicotine Delivery Device Entrepreneurs Alliance), many adult smokers are still unaware of this information. Therefore, education is needed by engaging various relevant stakeholders.

"The role of the government and media is important in supporting educational efforts so that the public receives accurate information about this product. This is the role of associations to work with the government and media to continue disseminating facts about HPTL products to the public," Roy said.

Roy also added that there have been many studies in other countries that consider HTPL products an alternative for smokers who want to switch to safer tobacco products. In fact, HTPL products are recommended by health professionals out there as a reference and prescription for smoking cessation therapy. This is because HTPL products do not contain harmful substances like TAR, and they are not burned but heated (vaporized).

"In Europe, it's even more exciting; HPTL products are even prescribed by doctors for patients who want to quit smoking. In New Zealand, they have a Smoke-Free 2025 program, and to support that program, HPTL products are one of the solutions. This is really good," Roy stated.

In closing, Roy said that adult smokers receive incorrect information about HPTL products. For example, these products are considered as dangerous to health as cigarettes. However, the results of several scientific studies from both domestic and international sources have shown the opposite.

"Our obstacle in conducting outreach is hoaxes and smear campaigns; the public receives two different pieces of information, the wrong one and the right one. That's why there must be collaboration between associations, the government, and the media," Roy concluded.
