A persistent cough deserves more than a second thought.

Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition that is often mistaken for “just a chronic cough.” Recognizing the warning signs, seeking medical evaluation early, and receiving appropriate treatment can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s quality of life.

Together, let’s make every breath count!

The CDUH Section of Pulmonology strengthens its advocacy to protect the health of Filipinos by raising awareness about the dangers of va**ng and ni****ne addiction.

As va**ng continues to gain popularity among the youth, it is more important than ever to promote evidence-based information, encourage healthy choices, and support to***co and vape-free lifestyles.

Together, let us empower our communities, safeguard our lungs, and create a healthier future for the next generation.

Increasing youth exposure to smoking and va**ng content online - often subtly promoted as lifestyle and social media content - continues to shape attitudes and influence behavior among young people.

This important issue was discussed by Dr. Gerard Garcia, chairman of the section of pulmonology, during the monthly media forum “Hisgutan Ta!” held at Waterfront Cebu Hotel & Casino last May 28. The discussion highlighted the growing impact of digital media, the normalization of smoking and va**ng in online spaces, and the need for stronger awareness, education, and protection for our youth.

Creating a healthier, smoke-free and vape-free future begins with informed conversations and collective action. 🫁💙

Concerns over the growing exposure of young Filipinos to smoking and va**ng content online were raised during “Hisgutan Ta!”, a monthly media forum held Thursday morning, May 28, 2026, at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.

Dr. Gerard Garcia, chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine of Cebu Doctors Hospital, stressed that ni****ne products are increasingly being promoted on social media as part of online lifestyle content, making them more visible to younger audiences.
