We aim to provide information for | We aim to provide information for interested members of the public (remember you are the 'public' in public health).

[[ | == 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. | |||
Around the world, limits are being placed on people who smoke to help themselves stop smoking. There are many reasons for over-regulating and outright banning reduced-risk products. They include a moral panic over youth use, a false belief that THR products are a gateway to smoking, stigma about using nicotine, misinformation, click-bait media articles, and science riddled with mythological flaws (To learn more about these issues, please search this website). This is adversely affecting people's ability to save their own lives and improve their health by quitting smoking or preventing a return to smoking. | |||
If after exploring the Safter Nicotine Wiki you feel compelled to help consumers in their efforts to have access to safer alternatives to combustible tobacco, please see our [https://safernicotine.wiki/mediawiki/index.php/Advocating_For_Tobacco_Harm_Reduction '''Advocating For Tobacco Harm Reduction'''] page, which contains calls to action you can assist with. While some of our volunteers may fill an advocacy role outside of their efforts on the Safer Nicotine Wiki, we do not participate in or endorse/oppose any regulations as a group. It is outside our mission. We're here for educational purposes only. That information may include studies showing the outcomes of some regulations because it is always important to look at the goals and tradeoffs of any policy. | |||
