Mashup Score: 48Nicotine without smoke: Tobacco harm reduction - 17 hour(s) ago
This report provides an update on the use of harm reduction in tobacco smoking, in relation to all non-tobacco nicotine products but particularly e-cigarettes. It shows that, for all the potential risks involved, harm reduction has huge potential to prevent death and disability from tobacco use, and to hasten our progress to a tobacco-free society. Following reported deaths and disease in the US linked to vaping, see the RCP’s position statement on the differing situations in the US and UK and our

Background: Vaporized nicotine products (VNPs) are more effective than nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for smoking cessation in general populations, but their effectiveness among low socioeconomic groups is largely unknown. Objective: To examine whether VNPs are more effective than NRT for smoking cessation among people experiencing social disadvantage. Design: Two-group, open-label, randomized trial with blinded outcome ascertainment. (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry ACTRN12621000076875) Setting: Australia, between March 2021 and December 2022. Participants: 1045 adults who smoked daily, were willing to quit smoking, and were receiving a government pension/allowance (proxy for social disadvantage). Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to either a free 8-week supply of NRT or VNPs, and all participants received text-message support. Measurements: The primary outcome was 6-month continuous smoking abstinence verified using a carbon monoxide breath t

The EU Commission attack on tobacco harm reduction will harm all European smokers but PARTICULARLY the most vulnerable and socially deprived groups, in whom e-cigarettes were found to be 3-TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE than NRTs in smoking cessation. See: https://t.co/OR5PrHsk51 https://t.co/R3tGaojidN

The EU Health Commissioner attacks tobacco harm reduction but talks about EU Cardiovascular Health Plan. He ignores that e-cigs were EQUALLY EFFECTIVE as complete nicotine cessation in preventing cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease. See: https://t.co/tGi6TvMVY1 https://t.co/R3tGaojidN

The truth is that exposure to benzene/toluene/xylenes is 748 to 1.5 million-fold LOWER from e-cigs compared to Permissible Exposure Limits in occupational settings. Embarrassing that this passed any peer-review process in @MDPIOpenAccess https://t.co/yDqVAN8QqQ

The EU Health Commissioner acknowledges that the EU plans to ignore science & common sense that non-combustible nicotine products CANNOT be as harmful to smoking. 95% risk reduction (or more, see: https://t.co/Kxm4ysW4ZW) is mispresented by the EU as "comparable health risks" https://t.co/Jlgr8O21Ob
