The global scientific research community has played a huge role in the fight against the ongoing pandemic. As a result, more people are paying attention to what’s happening in the world of science. sponsored

Chief scientific advisors, epidemiologists and infectious disease experts have become household names around the world; all hopes pinned on pioneers of modern medicine to provide the escape route: a vaccine. We are guzzling up information with newfound gusto, hungry for the facts of science over the disorientation of hearsay, rumor and rhetoric.

While tobacco control measures aimed at preventing smoking initiation and encouraging cessation are in place, there is growing consensus that more can be done to decrease smoking prevalence and that tobacco harm reduction can complement these measures. THR involves strategies to provide adults who would otherwise continue smoking with access to and accurate, non-misleading information about less harmful alternatives.

To be clear, these products are not risk-free and contain nicotine which is addictive. The best choice any smoker can make is to quit tobacco and nicotine altogether. However most don’t. Changing to scientifically substantiated smoke-free products is a better choice than continued smoking and can represent a public health opportunity to accelerate the decline in smoking prevalence and smoking-related population harm.

This behaviour and misinformation must be challenged because it maintains the status quo, that is smoking cigarettes which is the most harmful form of nicotine consumption.
