|Considerations
|
* Today’s cigarattes are more difficult to quit. Standard treatment has a noticeable failure rate.
* Physicians misperceive the relative risks of nicotine in comparison to combustion.
* NVPs are a legal alternative, 20 times less harmful than continued smoking.
* Switching measurably reduces harm, and might even help even those not intending to quit.
