*The review only identified studies exploring the attitudes of socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers towards NCNP (non-combustible nicotine products) for harm reduction or cessation purposes (i.e. we did not identify any relevant studies of more advantaged socioeconomic groups).
*Using a lines-of-argument meta-ethnographic approach, we identified a predominantly pessimistic attitude to NCNP for harm reduction or cessation of smoking due to:
**wider circumstances of socioeconomic disadvantage;
**lack of a perceived advantage of alternative products over smoking;
**and a perceived lack of information about relative harms of NCNP compared to smoking.
