* "Cigarettes have the serious problem that in addition to nicotine, the smoke contains a lot of carcinogens, it contains carbon monoxide, ammonia, this means that what is really very harmful is precisely the smoke. The idea is that these people who are in these conditions, propose that they start using a substitute for cigarettes with the condition that it does less damage, for that there are the chewing gums that have been used for a long time, the patches, there are nasal sprays that contain only nicotine. Electronic cigarettes are another alternative since it is 95% less harmful than the combustion cigarette".

*In almost all areas of public health, affected communities are now seen as a vital part of the policymaking process and the same recognition is long overdue in this field.

I feel ethically compelled to find a way of working with e-cigarettes as a public health tool. And the fact that some public health debate has made people – wrongly as the consensus statement says – feel e-cigarettes may even be more harmful than tobacco is something we ought to find shocking and chilling."|Jim McManus, OCDS, FFPH President, The Association of Directors of Public Health (UK)]]

[[file:US James Colgrove, PhD, MPH.png|center|alt=James Colgrove, PhD, MPH, Professor, Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health: "Although some e-cigarette manufacturers have no links to the tobacco industry, Big Tobacco is consuming an ever-greater share of the e-cigarette market. It is hard for public health advocates like us to look favorably on anything the industry wants. But history shows that harm reduction — the doctrine that many risks cannot be eradicated and that efforts are best spent on minimizing the resulting harm — has had an important place in antismoking efforts and suggests that regulation is better than prohibition. If e-cigarettes can reduce, even slightly, the blight of six million tobacco-related deaths a year, trying to force them out of sight is counterproductive."|James Colgrove, PhD, MPH, Professor, Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health]]

[[file:US James Colgrove, PhD, MPH.png|center|alt=James Colgrove, PhD, MPH, Professor, Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health: "Although some e-cigarette manufacturers have no links to the tobacco industry, Big Tobacco is consuming an ever-greater share of the e-cigarette market. It is hard for public health advocates like us to look favorably on anything the industry wants. But history shows that harm reduction — the doctrine that many risks cannot be eradicated and that efforts are best spent on minimizing the resulting harm — has had an important place in antismoking efforts and suggests that regulation is better than prohibition. If e-cigarettes can reduce, even slightly, the blight of six million tobacco-related deaths a year, trying to force them out of sight is counterproductive."|James Colgrove, PhD, MPH, Professor, Sociomedical Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health]]

Tobacco Harm Reduction Quote: [http://vimeo.com/557522524 E-cigarette Summit 2021]
We treat addiction to combustible tobacco differently than addiction to other products with respect to harm reduction approaches. We are spending way too much time on infighting and too little time on finding common ground to massively reduce combustible tobacco use and ending the false equivalency between products. Smoking remains a worldwide tragedy causing a billion lives at stake in this century alone. Lower risk products exist to help those unable or unwilling to quit. We have abandoned our harm reduction approach in public health when it comes to saving smokers.

Green, PhD, MPH Postdoctoral Scholar University of California, Berkeley: "In England, where leading medical organizations regard nicotine alone as relatively benign, the pressing need to reduce the risks for current smokers frames the debate. The overwhelming focus in the United States is abstinence. In the end, the sorts of policies that are implemented will depend on whether whoever dominates the debate views harm reduction as opportunity or anathema."|Sharon H.

[[file:US Jené Gutierrez, MA.png|center|alt=Jené Gutierrez, MA, Journalist: "So here is my humble appeal to my fellow vape-judging brethren: Let’s admit that we were all wrong. Vaping,  95 percent healthier and 40 percent cheaper than smoking cigarettes, helps wean people off of an intense habit and naturally becomes an extension of their identity. So what? If this level of dedication to vaping is what destroys a dangerous addiction, then who cares? Looking down on vapers is basic and boring. They’re just doing the best they can, and are actually a less toxic presence because they vape—whether or not you want to admit it."|Jené Gutierrez, MA, Journalist]]

Tobacco Harm Reduction Quote: [http://vimeo.com/557522524 E-cigarette Summit 2021]
We treat addiction to combustible tobacco differently than addiction to other products with respect to harm reduction approaches. We are spending way too much time on infighting and too little time on finding common ground to massively reduce combustible tobacco use and ending the false equivalency between products. Smoking remains a worldwide tragedy causing a billion lives at stake in this century alone. Lower risk products exist to help those unable or unwilling to quit. We have abandoned our harm reduction approach in public health when it comes to saving smokers.
