* "Cigarettes have the serious problem that in addition to nicotine, the smoke contains a lot of carcinogens, it contains carbon monoxide, ammonia, this means that what is really very harmful is precisely the smoke. The idea is that these people who are in these conditions, propose that they start using a substitute for cigarettes with the condition that it does less damage, for that there are the chewing gums that have been used for a long time, the patches, there are nasal sprays that contain only nicotine. Electronic cigarettes are another alternative since it is 95% less harmful than the combustion cigarette".

[[file:Austria Michael Kunze MD.png|center|alt=Professor Michael Kunze, MD, Medical University Vienna, Center for Public Health: "One has to acknowledge, nicotine is a very widely used psychoactive drug, and itself not very harmful to human health as far as the risk for cardiovascular diseases or cancer is concerned. One additional issue for the future would be a need to provide nicotine in the most harmless way to people who do not want or cannot yet stop smoking.

[[file:England UK Jim McManus, OCDS, FFPH.png|center|alt=Jim McManus, OCDS, FFPH President, The Association of Directors of Public Health (UK): "But it seems to me that we have enough of an accumulation of evidence that e-cigarettes are so much safer than tobacco cigarettes, even if we only discuss the levels of emissions of chemicals, that not working with e-cigarettes is to expose people to potentially avoidable harm, and that this is unethical. I feel ethically compelled to find a way of working with e-cigarettes as a public health tool. And the fact that some public health debate has made people – wrongly as the consensus statement says – feel e-cigarettes may even be more harmful than tobacco is something we ought to find shocking and chilling."|Jim McManus, OCDS, FFPH President, The Association of Directors of Public Health (UK)]]

*In almost all areas of public health, affected communities are now seen as a vital part of the policymaking process and the same recognition is long overdue in this field. Policymakers need to hear the experiences of people who have switched away from smoking, and take note of how their decisions are likely to impact people’s lives.

[[file:US David Abrams.png|center|alt=David Abrams, PhD, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, New York University School of Global Public Health: "E-cigarettes are substantially less harmful than burning toxic tobacco. They can help some people who have been unable to quit to switch and save their lives. The science in the last 2-3 years has become incredibly strong. It was the science that drove me to change my mind. I think we've forgotten it's the smoker and potential smoker we're supposed to be helping. They're people too. You can't forget that."|David Abrams, PhD, Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences, New York University School of Global Public Health]]
