The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Saturday denied it has approved the use of Lung Detox Tea which promotes smoking.
In a statement posted on NAFDAC’s X handle on Saturday, the agency’s Director-General, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, said the application for approval of the tea was rejected due to unsubstantiated claim that smoking could be made “healthy” by using the product.
The statement read: “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 their product.
