Si bien el objetivo es reducir las enfermedades y muertes relacionadas con el tabaquismo, el enfoque actual corre el riesgo de pasar por alto una de las mejores herramientas de las que disponemos: la reducci\u00f3n de da\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>La reducci\u00f3n de da\u00f1os es un concepto simple pero humano: en lugar de simplemente decirles a las personas que dejen de fumar \u2014un reto incre\u00edblemente dif\u00edcil y, para muchos, simplemente imposible\u2014 debemos ofrecer m\u00e1s opciones.<\/p>\n<p>Quienes fuman merecen tener acceso a alternativas menos da\u00f1inas como el vapeo, las bolsitas de nicotina y los productos de tabaco calentado. La ciencia ha demostrado que estos productos son significativamente menos da\u00f1inos que los cigarrillos tradicionales. No implican combusti\u00f3n, que es lo que produce el humo t\u00f3xico que causa c\u00e1ncer, enfermedades card\u00edacas y otras afecciones mortales. Al eliminar el humo, se elimina la mayor parte del da\u00f1o.<\/p>\n<p>En todo el mundo, millones de exfumadores ya han logrado dejar de fumar al optar por estas alternativas. Pa\u00edses que han tenido en cuenta la evidencia, como Suecia, el Reino Unido y Nueva Zelanda, han experimentado una r\u00e1pida disminuci\u00f3n en las tasas de tabaquismo. \u00bfSu secreto? Ofrecer a la gente opciones m\u00e1s seguras \u2014alternativas reales y pr\u00e1cticas al cigarrillo\u2014 en lugar de insistir en un enfoque de \u201ctodo o nada\u201d. Sin embargo, en la COP11, en vez de celebrar estos avances, la agenda intenta desestimar la reducci\u00f3n de da\u00f1os como una mera \u201cnarrativa\u201d, ignorando tanto la ciencia como las vidas transformadas por productos m\u00e1s seguros.<\/p>\n<p>Resulta a\u00fan m\u00e1s frustrante c\u00f3mo pa\u00edses peque\u00f1os como Trinidad y Tobago suelen ser ignorados en estos debates internacionales, eclipsados por la poderosa influencia de donantes adinerados como Michael Bloomberg. Pero Trinidad y Tobago es mucho m\u00e1s importante que cualquier ego. La naci\u00f3n debe negarse a ser marginada e insistir en que su voz se escuche con claridad y firmeza.<\/p>\n<p>Ha llegado el momento de que Trinidad y Tobago demuestre un verdadero liderazgo. La delegaci\u00f3n debe pronunciarse con firmeza a favor de pol\u00edticas basadas en la evidencia y defender el derecho a acceder a alternativas m\u00e1s seguras. En lugar de permitir que los prejuicios ideol\u00f3gicos dominen, pueden abogar por un di\u00e1logo abierto y constructivo que incluya todas las herramientas necesarias para reducir el tabaquismo.<\/p>\n<p>Al defender la reducci\u00f3n de da\u00f1os, Trinidad y Tobago no solo promover\u00eda su propia salud p\u00fablica, sino que tambi\u00e9n sentar\u00eda un poderoso ejemplo para otros pa\u00edses peque\u00f1os y medianos, a menudo ignorados en estas negociaciones. Abogar por la transparencia, rechazar las prohibiciones generales de productos m\u00e1s seguros e insistir en que los consumidores tengan voz y voto son pasos cruciales para avanzar.<\/p>\n<p>La reducci\u00f3n de los da\u00f1os causados por el tabaco no es un truco ni una narrativa; es una estrategia que salva vidas. Trinidad y Tobago tiene el poder y la responsabilidad de alzar la voz por la ciencia, la equidad y el progreso en la COP11. El mundo observa. Es hora de pronunciarse.<\/p>\n<p>Publicado originalmente <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guardian.co.tt\/opinion\/trinidad-and-tobago-should-stand-tall-for-harm-reduction-at-cop11-6.2.2379558.3be26b85aa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Later this year, leaders from all over the world will meet in Geneva at COP11, a major gathering organised by the World Health Organization (WHO) to shape tobacco policy.
