Common misconception among ‘jakok’ smokers So accepted is smoking habit among Penan, the Orang Ulu, that there already exist widespread misconception – smoking jakok, lukok, sigup is harmless, less harmful than cigarette? Dr Rosliza Abdul Manaf, a Public Health Physician and Senior Medical Lecturer at Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia said “that is actually a common misconception”.
“How can tobacco roll on nipah, banana leaves or other leaves which don’t have filter as in cigarette less harmful,” she said, when contacted for this article recently. Unlike filtered cigarette, Dr Rosliza said all the smoke contents of roll-your-own tobacco will inhale straight entering the lung. Thus making it more hazardous for human to consume. According Dr Rosliza, who did a postgraduate master thesis on casual tobacco smoking among young women, said roll-your-own smokers tend to develop faster and worse addiction – than cigarette.
This is partly because smoker of a roll-your-own tobacco, did not have a standard amount of tobacco used for each stick they will puffing. It is not surprising, therefore, that opposition to the draft regulation has been strong. Unofficial minutes of the Feb. 23 meeting show why: Officials from several ministries in attendance lambasted the draft, questioning why it was made public and given to nongovernmental organizations.
“Why are we only declaring tobacco as an addictive substance? Why doesn’t the Health Law give a more detailed explanation?” asked Unggul Ametung, who was head of plant diversity at the Agriculture Ministry at that time. “Because coffee, chocolate, and even rice are addictive substances. Addictive substances are those that cause addiction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], right?”
He has argued that if tobacco is declared as dangerous as hard drugs, it would require a prison sentence of at least five years, “and so,cheap cigarettes online, farmers are going to face that problem, not us.” Speaking to the Globe on Monday, Unggul again insisted that the government should provide a detailed definition of the word “addictive,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” still arguing that other plants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including coffee, were addictive to some people.
Policymakers who hope to win over smokers face the challenge of documenting the harm that secondhand smoke can do, even when produced by a neighbor. If smokers challenge public housing bans, backers of the bans may need to measure levels of secondhand smoke in specific units—still a technically challenging process,cheap newport cigarettes supplier, says Gregory Connolly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], MPH ’78,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], director of the Tobacco Control Research Program at HSPH and member of the recently formed Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, which advises the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“For multiple-dwelling units,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we need either clear laws or clear rules that protect the rights of exposed nonsmokers—or decisions made on a case-by-case basis and backed up by exposure measures,” says Connolly.
