NAFDAC Reacts To Claims That Lung Detox Tea Can ‘Protect’ Cigarette Smokers
- December 15, 2024
The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has reacted to claims that the Lung Detox Tea can protect the cigarette smokers.
Our correspondent learned that the agency in a statement posted on X.com on Saturday by its Director-General, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye clarified and disclosed that an application seeking approval for the product in question was actually rejected because of the unsubstantiated and harmful assertion that smoking could be made ‘healthy’ by using it.
‘NAFDAC has been made aware of a misleading video circulating on social media, alleging that the agency approved the registration of a herbal product claiming that ‘smoking is healthy’ when used with the product in question.
NAFDAC wishes to categorically state that this claim is false and completely unfounded.
The product in question—Lung Detox Tea, Lungitox (Smokers Pride), or any similar product—is not registered by NAFDAC.
The unscrupulous individual behind this product had applied for registration, but the application was outrightly rejected due to the dangerous and unsupported claim.
We condemn any attempt to mislead or endanger the public with false claims.
The public is advised to disregard this video and report any suspicious claims or products to the agency through our official channels’ NAFDAC submitted.
