Berita sadis bagi penghisap rokok tegar sedunia.
Filter rokok anda mungkin mempunyai zat babi didalamnya. Menurut Professor Universiti Kesihatan Awam Sydney,Simon Chapman - didalam kajian di Holland terdapat 185 kegunaan babi didalam industri.
Salah satunya didalam industri tembakau. Hemoglobin babi dalam bentuk protein digunakan didalam filter rokok. Hemoglobin babi ini efektif dalam menyerap bahan toksik yang terdapat didalam asap rokok!
Sehingga kini hanya rokok yang dijual di Greece yang mengesahkan menggunakan filter babi kerana menurut perundangan tempatan semua kandungan rokok WAJIB diberitahu kepada orang awam. Di negara-negara lain isi kandungan pembuatan filter tidak wajib diberitahu.
Maka ada kemungkinan hemoglobin babi digunakan dalam rokok yang dijual di Malaysia! - Doih79
~Cigarettes may contain blood - research
~"Insight into world of cigarette manufacture"
~Likely to raise concerns for Muslims, Jews
CIGARETTES may contain traces of pigs' blood, an Australian academic says with a warning that religious groups could find its undisclosed presence "very offensive".
University of Sydney Professor in Public Health Simon Chapman points to recent Dutch research which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig - including the use of its haemoglobin in cigarette filters.
Prof Chapman said the research offered an insight into the otherwise secretive world of cigarette manufacture, and it was likely to raise concerns for devout Muslims and Jews.
Religious texts at the core of both of these faiths specifically ban the consumption of pork.
"I think that there would be some particularly devout groups who would find the idea that there were pig products in cigarettes to be very offensive," Prof Chapman said today.
"The Jewish community certainly takes these matters extremely seriously and the Islamic community certainly do as well, as would many vegetarians.
"It just puts into hard relief the problem that the tobacco industry is not required to declare the ingredients of cigarettes ... they say 'that's our business' and a trade secret."
The Dutch research found pig haemoglobin - a blood protein - was being used to make cigarette filters more effective at trapping harmful chemicals before they could enter a smoker's lungs.
Prof Chapman said while tobacco companies had moved voluntarily list the contents of their products on their websites, they also noted undisclosed "processing aids ... that are not significantly present in, and do not functionally affect, the finished product".
This catch-all term hid from public view an array of chemicals and other substances used in the making of tobacco products, he said.
At least one cigarette brand sold in Greece was confirmed as using pig haemoglobin in its processes, Prof Chapman said, and the status of smokes sold was unknown.
"If you're a smoker and you're of Islamic or Jewish faith then you'd probably would want to know and there is no way of finding out," Prof Chapman said.
