"Consumers worldwide are, on average, either uninformed or ill-informed about the concept of tobacco harm reduction and the specific reduced-risk products central to its implementation. Such ignorance is understandable as the THR paradigm is a comparatively new concept beyond public health circles and RRPs are innovative new technologies that only recently delivered commercially viable options for consumers."![]()

"... alternatives to cigarettes exist, and they are far less harmful to human health. Harm from smoking comes mostly from combustion and the resulting chemical compounds released and absorbed by smokers. Products that do not involve combustion, such as e-cigarettes or heated tobacco products, do involve health risks but are far less harmful than conventional cigarettes. This fact is well established in science (thanks to independent toxicological studies), even though some uncertainty remains as to the long-term effects of e-cigarettes and other alternatives. In short, however, science says that smokers benefit from switching to one of these alternatives."![]()
