Vaping devices, snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products are significantly safer than cigarettes, delivering nicotine without burning tobacco.

Key Points: 
  • Vaping devices, snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products are significantly safer than cigarettes, delivering nicotine without burning tobacco.
  • Parties to the FCTC including the UK and New Zealand have seen marked decreases in smoking after introducing harm reduction policies alongside domestic tobacco control regimes.
  • The WHO remains opposed to harm reduction for tobacco and international tobacco control is increasingly focused on banning safer products.
  • Ideological opposition to tobacco harm reduction from influential philanthropic funders has distorted global policymaking - when harm reduction is actually named as a core element of tobacco control in the FCTC, and is key to the WHO's drugs and HIV/AIDS programmes.
