'''[[Safe or Safer?]]''' | '''[[Safe or Safer?]]''' 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.
