Nicotine science and policy Q & A

• By: Clive Bates / The counterfactual
• "Welcome, this is my (Clive) 2020 Q & A on nicotine science and policy. It mostly focusses on nicotine vaping as an alternative to smoking, but most of the argument also applies to heated tobacco products, modern smokeless tobacco and new oral nicotine products. It consists of about 60 questions and builds on a brief Q & A that I submitted to a consultation, a critique of an absurd anti-vaping Q & A by the WHO and my critique of numerous false and misleading claims made by Professor Stanton Glantz."

Promoting Harm Reduction Policies

2021: Reducing the smoking-related health burden in the USA through diversion to electronic cigarettes: a system dynamics simulation study

• The simulation suggests that the promotion of e-cigarettes as a harm-reduction policy is a viable strategy, given current evidence that e-cigarettes offset or divert from smoking. Given the strong effects of implementation challenges on policy effectiveness in the short term, accurately modeling such obstacles can usefully inform policy design.
