Athens: At the recently held 8th Summit on Tobacco Harm Reduction, experts discussed strategies to implement harm reduction as a public health strategy for smokers who cannot or will not quit.
A key message from the sessions was that while cessation of smoking remains the gold standard, alternatives such as e-cigarettes, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine products “represent a pragmatic and science-based option”, the official press release from the event stated.
