Briefly, nothing is absolutely safe, but as the products continually evolve they become safer. [[Nicotine Replacement Therapy]] products such as [[Transdermal patch|patches]], [[Nicotine Chewing gum|gums]], [[Nicotine sprays|sprays]], and inhalers are substantially less than 1% as risky as smoking. Non-pharmaceutical nicotine products can also pose a fraction of the risk of smoking, e.g. [[Snus]] (approximately 1%), [[What are electronic cigarettes?| E-Cigarettes]] (less than 5%), and Heat not Burn (approximately 10%). These estimates become ever more refined as increasing numbers of research studies are published. Beyond the debate about nicotine tied to smoking and products used to quit smoking, science is also looking at potential [[Nicotine_therapeutic_benefits|therapeutic benefits of nicotine]]. | Briefly, nothing is absolutely safe, but as the products continually evolve they become safer.

Virtually everyone who used a safer nicotine product to quit smoking completely experiences profound improvement in their health, e.g. improved breathing and cardiovascular benefits. This is possibly due to totally removing the previous inhalation of carbon monoxide from the tobacco cigarette. [[Asthma]] and [[Copd|COPD]] patients have shown great recovery, see [[Health Improvements]] | Virtually everyone who used a safer nicotine product to quit smoking completely experiences profound improvement in their health, e.g. improved breathing and cardiovascular benefits.
