NAFDAC Refutes False Claims of Approving Herbal Tea That Promotes Smoking

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has issued a strong refutation of a misleading video circulating on social media, which falsely claims that the Agency approved a herbal product that promotes smoking as "healthy." The product in question, marketed as Lung Detox Tea or Lungitox (Smokers Pride), is not registered by NAFDAC, and the claims are entirely false and unfounded.


This development highlights the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before sharing it on social media. The spread of misinformation can have serious consequences, including putting people's health at risk. In this case, the false claims about the herbal tea could lead people to believe that smoking is safe or healthy, which is not supported by scientific evidence.

As the regulatory agency responsible for ensuring the safety and efficacy of food, drugs, and other products in Nigeria, NAFDAC plays a critical role in protecting public health. The Agency's refutation of the false claims demonstrates its commitment to this mission and its efforts to prevent the spread of misinformation.

The implications of this development are significant. It highlights the need for increased vigilance and scrutiny of products being marketed and sold in Nigeria, particularly those making health claims. It also underscores the importance of relying on credible sources of information and being cautious of products that seem too good (or bad) to be true.

In conclusion, NAFDAC's refutation of the false claims about the herbal tea is a welcome development. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and verifying information before sharing it on social media. The public is urged to disregard the video and report suspicious products to NAFDAC via their website, email, or phone number. By working together, we can prevent the spread of misinformation and protect public health.
