In Kenia sterven jaarlijks meer dan 8100 mensen aan ziekten die verband houden met roken, ondanks het feit dat gemiddeld minder mensen in Kenia rookloze tabak gebruiken dan in landen met een gemiddelde Human Development Index (HDI). Tabaksschadebeperking is niet breed geaccepteerd of ge\u00efmplementeerd, met hoge belastingen op nicotinehoudende producten met een verlaagd risico, zoals e-sigaretten, snus en 'heat not burn'-producten in Kenia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mijn project had als doel de implementatie en het begrip van tabakschadebeperking te verbeteren onder rokers, tabaksgebruikers, beleidsmakers en zorgverleners in gemarginaliseerde gemeenschappen in Kenia. Rookstopprogramma's omvatten hier in Kenia geen veiligere nicotineproducten, en daarom was mijn project erop gericht de implementatie en het begrip van tabakschadebeperking te verbeteren onder beleidsmakers die het beleid voor het lokale ministerie van Volksgezondheid bepalen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ik heb enqu\u00eates afgenomen in de vorm van vragenlijsten onder rokers en zorgverleners in een aantal gemarginaliseerde gemeenschappen in Kenia, met name in West-Kenia, de Riftvallei en Machakos County.,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ik probeerde inzicht te krijgen in het perspectief van schadebeperking met betrekking tot roken en tabaksgebruik onder rokers in plattelandsgebieden. Daarnaast gaf ik een lokale workshop aan gezondheidsmedewerkers van de afdeling stoppen met roken in Eldoret, om wetenschappelijk bewijs over schadebeperking door tabak en veiligere nicotineproducten te verspreiden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de meeste gezondheidswerkers op het Keniaanse platteland niet begrijpen dat nicotine geen kanker veroorzaakt. Dit toont aan dat artsen weinig tot geen kennis hebben van tabakschadebeperking en daarom de overheid niet adequaat kunnen adviseren over tabakskwesties. Het is echter juist zij die hun stem kunnen laten horen en invloed kunnen uitoefenen op de nationale tabaksbestrijding en op nationaal niveau betrokken kunnen raken bij het bevorderen van tabakschadebeperking. Het beleid van tabakschadebeperking is erop gericht de hoge tol van sigaretten te verlagen door rokers te stimuleren over te stappen op minder risicovolle alternatieven zoals vapen. Deze aanpak wint aan populariteit in landen met een geavanceerd tabaksbeleid dat de rookcijfers aanzienlijk verlaagt en daarmee levens redt. In Kenia zijn er echter nog steeds te veel mensen die vasthouden aan het mislukte tabaksbeleid van 'stoppen of sterven' en de mythes die daaraan ten grondslag liggen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uit de enqu\u00eates blijkt dat de overgrote meerderheid van de respondenten tabaksproducten ter vermindering van de schadelijke gevolgen van roken wil gebruiken, zoals nicotinezakjes en e-sigaretten, om te stoppen met traditionele, kankerverwekkende sigaretten. Toch vinden bijna driekwart van de mensen deze innovatieve, levensreddende producten te duur of te moeilijk verkrijgbaar, en bijna iedereen zou ermee stoppen als de overheid de prijs zou verhogen. De resultaten tonen de dringende noodzaak aan dat onze regelgevende instanties veiligere nicotineproducten beschouwen als een essentieel en effectief middel in de strijd tegen de levens die jaarlijks verloren gaan aan door tabak veroorzaakte ziekten. Bijna alle rokers die aan de enqu\u00eate hebben deelgenomen, denken dat veiligere nicotineproducten hen de beste kans geven om succesvol te stoppen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Uit dit onderzoek is duidelijk gebleken dat Kenia, in plaats van een dogmatische, onwetenschappelijke houding aan te nemen tegenover het verminderen van de schadelijke gevolgen van tabak, dit juist zou moeten omarmen als een veelbelovende kans om duizenden levens te redden die anders door sigaretten verloren zouden gaan.<\/span><\/p>\n
