ASAP

ASAP strives to reduce the health impact of smoking in Pakistan by advocating for less harmful alternatives for adult smokers.

[ASAP @QuitSmokesASAP]

Progress isn't measured by time. It's measured by outcomes. Ten years on, quit attempts among smokers in Pakistan remain almost unchanged. Quitting is the best choice. Tobacco Harm Reduction expands awareness of evidence-based smoke-free alternatives for adults who would otherwise continue smoking. #QuitSmoking #SmokingAwareness #TobaccoHarmReduction #PublicHealth #ASAPakistan

We often hear about the risks of smoking. But how often do we talk about what creates those risks?

Combustion is what produces toxic smoke and many harmful chemicals when a cigarette burns. Understanding the science is key to more informed conversations about tobacco harm reduction.

Quitting cold turkey is the best choice. But if you can't, switching to smoke-free alternatives is still much safer than smoking.

Don't let scary headlines push you back to deadly cigarettes.

[ASAP @QuitSmokesASAP]

This headline is pure clickbait!!

The study does not say vaping causes eye disease. It actually looked at former smokers whose eyes were already damaged from years of smoking.

People who quit smoking but keep using vapes or other nicotine alternatives may still face a higher risk of serious eye disease than those who stop nicotine completely 🧵

[ASAP @QuitSmokesASAP]

It found that quitting nicotine completely lets eyes heal faster than switching to a vape. Nicotine makes blood vessels narrower, which slows down healing (especially for diabetics). BUT toxic smoke from burning cigarettes is what caused the damage in the first place!

What if smoking isn’t just about quitting but reducing harm? Millions struggle despite trying. Is “quit or die” the only path?

Out of breath after a few stairs? Cigarette smoke does more than you think.

Tar affects your lungs, while carbon monoxide reduces oxygen in your blood. Your lungs notice the difference.

"Just quit" sounds simple. ❌ But if it were, 17.7 million Pakistanis wouldn't still be smoking.

Harm reduction offers adult smokers less harmful alternatives when quitting isn't immediately possible.

The biggest risk in smoking is combustion. Burning tobacco releases thousands of harmful chemicals, making harm reduction and awareness more important than ever.
