Cigarette smoking is highest among the country’s poor, who spend more on tobacco than on clothing, education or even on their own health, results of a recent study showed. 


"The ratio of tobacco expenditure to total income is highest among the lowest income level. Since their income is meager, their tobacco expenditures, though low in absolute terms, have great impact," said Dr. Marina Baquilod, a medical specialist from the National Epidemiology Center of the Department of Health (DOH).

                    [Summary] => In this season of unpredictable weather, more Filipinos are prone to get sick because they are not in the habit of eating fresh fruits, the Department of Health (DOH) said.


The DOH noted this was ironic considering that the country has an abundance of agricultural products, particularly fresh fruits which are also affordable so long as they are in season.


Dr. Marina Baquilod, DOH coordinator for chronic disease epidemiology, said less than half of Filipino adults eat fresh fruits, making them more vulnerable to "lifestyle-related diseases."
