❗️SMOKING AND/OR VA**NG DOUBLES YOUR RISK OF GETTING TUBERCULOSIS❗️

People who smoke and v**e are more likely to get TB. In addition, ci******es worsen the condition of those with TB, which can lead to death. The effectiveness of anti-TB drugs is also lessened if the patient smokes.

Be a STAR quitter. Call the DOH Quitline 1558 for help in kicking the habit.

Get regular TB screening at a TB-DOTS center near you:

🌿🚭 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗛𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀.
When you hike Mount Ulap in Ampucao, Itogon, you’re not just chasing breathtaking views - you’re also stepping into a 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲-𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗽𝗲-𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (declared last June 24).

This is for 𝗬𝗢𝗨, our hikers, and for our beloved Mt. Ulap:
✨ To enjoy clean, fresh mountain air
✨ To keep the trails safe from fire hazards
✨ To preserve the beauty of nature for everyone

No cigarette butts. No v**e pods. No fire risks. No pollution – just the mountain at its best.

To make this possible, Mount Ulap tour guides were trained by the Itogon MHSO with support from Transcend - TICI on:
✔️ Learning the global “why” behind to***co control (FCTC & MPOWER)
✔️ Understanding our very own Smoke-Free/V**e-Free Ordinance (Municipal Ordinance No. 35 s.2020)
✔️ Communicating with tourists in a positive, kind, clear and confident way about the smoke-free policy
✔️ Stepping up as role models on the trail – keeping every hike safe and healthy
✔️ Practicing real-life situations on how to handle smoking or va**ng while on the climb

Soon, once deputized, these tour guides will not 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 – 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

So when you visit, remember: your guides are more than companions. They are 𝗦𝗺𝗼𝗸𝗲-𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 🌄💚

👉 Let’s hike responsibly. Respect nature. Respect fellow hikers. Respect health. Respect community.
Let’s enjoy the view – minus the smoke and aerosol. 🌿

🚩Red flag alert!🚩 Trending ngayon ang isang post kung saan nakita ng teacher ang isang v**e sa bag ng kanyang Grade 4 student na 9 years old pa lamang.

Sobrang alarming na pabata nang pabata ang nagkakaroon ng access sa mga to***co products tulad ng v**e. Kaya responsibilidad ng ating gobyerno na mas i-monitor at i-regulate pa ang pagbebenta ng mga to***co at v**e products. Responsibilidad din ng to***co at v**e brands na siguraduhing walang menor de edad ang makaka-access ng kanilang produkto.

Kaya tuloy ang ating panawagan sa lahat ng to***co, v**e, heated to***co products (HTPs), at ni****ne pouches brands from the Filipino youth! ✊🚭
