We aim to provide information for interested members of the public (remember you are the 'public' in public health). This might include consumers, scientists and researchers, health workers, medical doctors, regulators, and journalists. Most of the time papers link directly to the original science, often on government servers, we aim to provide useful summaries/comment where possible as a guide, we encourage you to read the full paper if you wish.

== Finding Balance ==

In 2021, the American Journal of Public Health published the paper "[https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/full/10.2105/AJPH.2021.306416 Balancing Consideration of the Risks and Benefits of E-Cigarettes]." It was written by 15 past presidents of the Society for Nicotine and Tobacco Research (SRNT). SRNT is the main global professional society for researchers who focus on nicotine and tobacco. Its mission is "...to stimulate the generation and dissemination of new knowledge concerning nicotine in all its manifestations - from molecular to societal." The paper discussed the contentious debate about tobacco harm reduction, with a focus on e-cigarettes.

Vast savings are experienced; this is quite underappreciated by some members of the general public. It would be a gross underestimate to state that a 50% reduction in spending would be experienced by anyone who completely switches.
