NAFDAC Denies Approval of ‘Lung-Cleansing Herbal Tea’ for Smokers

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has denied claims that it approved the use of lung detox tea, which promotes smoking.

The agency in a statement posted on its X account on Saturday said the application for approval of the product was rejected.

According to the statement signed by the Director-General of the agency, Mojisola Adeyeye, the application was rejected due to its unsubstantiated and harmful claim that smoking could be made healthy by using the product.

“The attention of NAFDAC has been drawn to a misleading video circulating on social media, alleging that NAFDAC approved the registration of a herbal product claiming that ‘smoking is healthy’ when used with their product.

“NAFDAC wishes to categorically state that this claim is false and completely unfounded.

“The unscrupulous individual behind this product had applied for registration, but the application was outrightly rejected due to the unsubstantiated and dangerous claim that smoking could be made “healthy” by consuming the produce,” the statement read in part.
