Tobacco Harm Reduction 101

 As a growing adult, we are exposed to many new things every day. We are also easily influenced by friends and family to pick up a new hobby or so. For example, I was once affected by a bunch of formal colleagues into cigarette smoking. We would gather at the staircase to smoke together in the morning, tea time and evening. I was young at that time, and I believe what people say is that we could use tobacco to relieve stress and become a part of social situations. Little did I know, the bad habit will harm our health and eventually cause many smoking-related diseases.

In fact, many of us know that smoking is harmful. Our teachers did warn us during classes in school but not all of us know that the BIGGEST problem with smoking and cigarettes is burning. The reason why burning is the BIGGEST problem is because by burning the cigarettes and tobacco, we will be creating and releasing the smoke that contains harmful chemicals that cause smoking-related diseases such as lung cancer. Therefore, burning and releasing the smoke is the BIGGEST problem.

The fact that many adults are still confused with the misconception that the culprit of smoking-related disease is nicotine. Most of the smokers are not informed that they do have an alternative and less harmful way of consuming nicotine such as risk-reducing alternatives like e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products.

Harm reduction is fundamentally a principle in opening up avenues to alternatives and better informed choices - whether to prevent or eradicate harm inducing habits or activities. According to Harm Reduction International (hri.global), Harm Reduction should encompass a range of health and social practices. These include, but are not limited to smoking, drug consumption, dietary and much more. This is in accordance to avoid stigma and to keep people alive whilst encouraging positive change in their lives. By practicing harm reduction efforts, alternatives can be sought after rather than leaving consumers with no choice. This way, we can still maintain our lifestyle and keep ourselves harmless.

As Edelweiss influencers share how they rediscover their cities with new adventures, fans too are hopping on the bandwagon for a chance to score attractive prizes.

While the hashtag #FeelTheAlps is gaining traction with fans taking their brand-new discoveries and adventures with Edelweiss to social media, Edelweiss continues to bring refreshing experiences into the city with the launch of the Edelweiss flagship outlet, The Alps bar, in Genting Highlands.

With them were Thaddeus Huang and Tan Koon Lin, owners of The Alps bar as well as Dato’ Edward Holloway, Executive Vice President, Leisure and Hospitality of Genting Malaysia.

Members of the media and invited guests got an exclusive sneak peek into the world of Edelweiss right here at The Alps bar. The modern and sophisticated bar was majestically decked out to depict the essence of the Alps, and a highlight was the breath-taking view experienced from the first floor as they enjoyed a cold Edelweiss that truly brought the #FeelTheAlps experience to new heights.

Every corner of The Alps bar was Instagrammable for guests to capture their #FeelTheAlps experience. They were served with delectable Austrian dishes to accompany their ice-cold refreshing Edelweiss, and to top it off, guests got to evoke their playful side with the exciting claw machine game to score exclusive prizes such as free stays in Genting Highlands, food and beverage vouchers, an at-home Blade Machine experience, and various other Edelweiss merchandise.

At the event, guests were able to understand the Edelweiss brand better. They learned about the all-natural ingredients and the blend of fresh mountain herbs which makes Edelweiss as distinctive as it is. Guests then had the opportunity to tap their own Edelweiss from the exclusive Blade Machine and taste the fresh finish and subtle, fruity aftertaste to really immerse themselves in the experience.

‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ Calls for Early Action in Cancer Screening Missed During COVID-19

Although we are still in the pandemic, we should still pay attention to our body's symptoms, take care of our body and not to fear coming forward to seek medical attention when necessary. We all know that early detection of cancers is easier to treat and save life.

‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ campaign was officiated by (from left) Dr. Anand Sachithanandan, Co-founder and President of Lung Cancer Network Malaysia, Dr. Sanjeev Panchal, Country President of AstraZeneca Malaysia, Dato' Dr. Haji Noor Azmi Bin Ghazali, Deputy Health Minister, Dato’ Dr. Saunthari Somasundaram, President of National Cancer Society Malaysia, and Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy, Managing Director of National Cancer Society Malaysia.

However, it is disappointed to know that due to the pandemic, fewer people with cancer are diagnosed early, increasing the risk of more cancers being diagnosed at an advanced stage when they are more difficult to treat. Cancer, however, does not stop for COVID-19. For this reason, the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) and Lung Cancer Network Malaysia (LCNM) have partnered to launch the ‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ campaign with the support of AstraZeneca Malaysia to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer care, calling on people to act early and re-engage with appropriate healthcare screening.

Ms. Selvarani A/P Krishnan, a cancer survivor sharing her experience in combating breast cancer at the media launch of ‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ campaign.

Launched in conjunction with breast, lung and prostate cancer awareness months, the ‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ campaign was officiated by Dato' Dr. Haji Noor Azmi Bin Ghazali, Deputy Health Minister, along with Dato’ Dr. Saunthari Somasundaram, President of NCSM, Cancer is a health concern among Malaysians especially since it is the second leading cause of death in the world and in Malaysia1. According to a recently published research, Covid-19 Impact on Cancer Care by IQVIA, there was a drastic drop of 74% in cancer diagnosis2, with doctors sharing that they experienced delays in follow-up for screening, check-ups and treatment with cancer patients and high-risk groups.

With drastic drops in diagnosis rates and fewer people being screened, the three partners have collaborated to raise awareness amongst the population of patients who have missed out on diagnosis and treatment. Apart from providing education to the public on proper cancer care through social media and the campaign’s microsite, the ‘New Normal, Same Cancer’ aims to bring patients back to care in this new normal by providing screening vouchers and consultation on breast, lung and prostate cancers from participating hospitals nationwide.
