Tobacco Harm Reduction - an introductionClive Bates
油
This document provides an introduction to tobacco harm reduction and alternative nicotine products such as e-cigarettes. It summarizes statements from public health organizations that find e-cigarettes to be much less harmful than combustible cigarettes. Research shows e-cigarettes help smokers quit at the population level and are effective cessation tools. The document argues for risk-proportionate regulation and taxation of nicotine products to incentivize smokers to switch to less harmful options and further reduce smoking rates.
What is wrong (and right) about the Tobacco Products Directive approach to E-...Clive Bates
油
These are the visual aids for my talk on the truly dreadful European Union Tobacco Products Directive as it applies to e-cigarettes, and why Totally Wicked has a legal case against it.
Prohibition or profit motive: competing visions for the endgameClive Bates
油
This document discusses competing visions for reducing tobacco-related harm and cigarette consumption globally by 2040. It summarizes the view that prohibition of cigarettes is unlikely to succeed and may backfire, while introducing reduced-risk nicotine products could displace smoking if regulated appropriately. Charts show global cigarette consumption trends and hypothetical scenarios where safer nicotine products capture market share from cigarettes. The argument is made for an approach that balances public health, individual rights, and business interests to maximize harm reduction opportunities.
This document summarizes information presented at a tobacco harm reduction conference on the public health benefits of tobacco harm reduction. It discusses estimates of the relative harm of nicotine products, value propositions for smokers to switch to lower-risk alternatives like e-cigarettes, real-world examples of smokers switching successfully to e-cigarettes, and projections of global cigarette consumption trends with and without the introduction of reduced-risk nicotine products. It also examines how moral panics have emerged around issues like e-cigarette poisoning, use by youth, hidden toxicants, and youth-oriented flavors.

My presentation covering why 'less is more' when it comes to regulating low risk alternatives to cigarettes such as e-cigarettes. Too much regulation will limit appeal, increase costs, raise barriers to entry and inhibit innovation. I also urge a focus on the huge potential benefits of low-risk alternatives to smoking instead of obsession over minor or implausible risks.

油
This document discusses e-cigarettes and novel tobacco products. It argues that they are substantially less harmful than combustible cigarettes and have the potential to significantly reduce smoking rates and associated deaths. However, regulations should balance this potential benefit with preventing unintended consequences like perpetuating smoking or increasing youth uptake. The document proposes risk-proportionate regulations and taxes to incentivize switching from cigarettes, along with standards, marketing restrictions, and age limits, while ensuring products remain appealing to smokers trying to quit. The goal is harm reduction for populations according to the WHO framework convention on tobacco control.

This document summarizes six key things to know about tobacco harm reduction:
1. Smoking prevalence remains high despite efforts. New reduced risk nicotine products like e-cigarettes can help obsolete cigarettes.
2. Expert reviews find e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking and can help smokers quit. However, risk perceptions are often exaggerated.
3. The public health benefit comes from addicted smokers switching to less harmful options, not from promoting e-cigarette use alone.
4. Policies should balance appropriate youth protections with supporting harm reduction for adults. Overly restrictive policies can backfire by perpetuating smoking.

This document outlines six insights on harm reduction:
1. Policies should focus on actual harm rather than products themselves. Harm from smoking, alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. should be the focus.
2. Policies themselves can cause unintended harm, such as bans on e-cigarettes increasing smoking rates in some cases. The potential harms of policies must be considered.
3. Context is important when considering harm reduction policies. What works in one situation may not be effective in another due to differing contexts.
4. Policies should consider who is actually at risk rather than entire populations. For issues like obesity and salt, not all groups face the same degree of risk.

It outlines scenarios where low-risk nicotine products could drive down the number of smokers from over 1 billion currently to just 5% of the global adult population by 2050.
2. However, it notes that an over-regulated environment that reduces product appeal and diversity could limit the public health benefits by decreasing the number of smokers who switch to less harmful alternatives.

油
This document summarizes a presentation on the effects of alternative nicotine delivery systems like e-cigarettes on cigarette consumption and smoking prevalence. It discusses data showing declines in smoking rates in countries where vaping products are widely available and accepted like the US, UK, and Sweden. Studies suggest vaping helps increase smoking cessation rates at a population level. The rise of Juul products in the US may have accelerated declines in youth smoking rates there in recent years. Countries in Asia have also seen significant drops in cigarette sales as heat-not-burn tobacco and vaping products gain popularity. However, public health attitudes can influence how quickly reduced risk alternatives are adopted.
Tobacco harm reduction in the UK: e-cigarettes (EC) are making a differenceClive Bates
油
The document discusses the success of e-cigarettes in helping smokers quit in Leicester City, UK. It notes that success rates were up to 20% higher using e-cigarettes compared to nicotine replacement therapy alone. A stop smoking service in Leicester City began offering free e-cigarette starter kits in 2014 and has seen consistently high quit rates each year since. Common myths about potential health harms, nicotine addiction, e-cigarettes not reflecting smoker preferences, gateway effects, and lack of evidence are addressed. Key organizations in the UK support e-cigarettes as much safer than smoking and effective for harm reduction.
This document discusses various issues related to the regulation of e-cigarettes and vaping. It notes that over-regulation can diminish returns and impose unnecessary costs and restrictions. Too much regulation could compromise product design and appeal, and allow larger tobacco companies to dominate at the expense of smaller manufacturers. There is concern that changing public perceptions of e-cigarettes, driven by misinformation about potential health risks that are not supported by science, could undermine their ability to help smokers quit and reduce harm. The document advocates an evidence-based approach to regulation and public messaging, highlighting that e-cigarettes are much less harmful than smoking and show promise as a smoking cessation tool.

This document provides information on vaping and tobacco harm reduction. It discusses how smoking kills over 96,000 people annually in the UK and notes that median smokers lose 10 years of life expectancy. It then examines smoking prevalence data in different areas and populations in the UK. The document discusses evidence that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking and may help smokers quit. It notes concerns that restrictive policies could perpetuate smoking. The summary concludes by outlining a framework for risk-proportionate regulation of tobacco and nicotine products.

10 provocations on why FDA's regulation of tobacco and nicotine is failing the American public. My presentation to the US E-cigarette Summit 2022 in Washington DC, with bonus content of additional background slides added in.
1. Tobacco use causes over 10 million deaths annually worldwide and is projected to cause over 10 million deaths by 2030 according to WHO estimates. Tobacco use is responsible for various cancers as well as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
2. The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act of 2003 in India includes provisions that ban smoking in public places, prohibit tobacco advertisements and sale to minors, and mandate health warnings on tobacco packaging. These types of tobacco control policies have been shown to effectively reduce tobacco consumption and smoking rates.
3. Increasing taxes and prices on tobacco products is an important demand-reduction strategy as it can lead to over a 40 million reduction in smokers and over 10 million fewer tobacco-related deaths globally according to
The document analyzes the tobacco industry in the UK using PESTEL and Porter's Five Forces frameworks. It identifies several key political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors influencing the industry. High taxation is a major driver of change that threatens tobacco companies but also provides opportunities to shift manufacturing abroad. Health awareness campaigns and smoking bans create challenges but technological innovations like e-cigarettes also threaten traditional tobacco products. The analysis provides insights into both threats and opportunities facing the UK tobacco industry from various factors.
The APPH Standard: What Does it Actually Mean?Clive Bates
油
My presentation at the Food & Drug Law Institute Tobacco and Nicotine conference 26 October 2023. I discuss five problems with the APPH concept:
1. No means of trading off different types of benefits and detriments
2. Ignores vaping benefits to youth
3. Blind to harmful unintended consequences of marketing denial orders
4. Impossible to estimate population effects at the product level - the standard only makes sense at the category level.
5. The aggregate effect of thousands of single product PMTA determinations may create adverse effects not captured in any individual application (de fact flavour ban)
I finish with three broad proposals:
1. Assess individual risk and marketing strategy pre-market
2. Assess population effects when it is actually possible to observe them - post-market
3. Conduct a single comprehensive market assessment covering all products, including illicit trade
This study compared the effects of cigarette smoke, e-cigarette vapor, and pure nicotine on cell viability using HeLa cells. Various concentrations of smoke and vapor condensates collected from a mechanical smoking system were applied to cells for 24 hours. An MTT assay then measured cell viability. Cigarette smoke exposure resulted in lower viability than e-cigarette vapor, but higher than pure nicotine. The results provide insight into the acute toxicity of these substances and whether e-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes.
This document outlines Ireland's plan to achieve a tobacco free society by 2025 with a smoking rate of less than 5%. It discusses building on previous tobacco control successes like smoke-free workplaces and advertising bans. Currently adult and youth smoking rates are declining but still unacceptable. The plan calls for more smoke-free environments, tighter retail regulations, stronger enforcement, increased cessation support, and protecting public health policies from tobacco industry influence to help reach the 2025 goal. International examples show this goal is ambitious but achievable.
This document outlines Ireland's plan to achieve a tobacco free society by 2025 with a smoking rate of less than 5%. Key aspects of the plan include strengthening tobacco control policies like marketing restrictions and smoke-free laws, increasing enforcement and compliance, expanding cessation programs, and reducing youth smoking rates which have already declined significantly but remain unacceptable. The goal is to continue building on past successes like workplace smoking bans and packaging restrictions to promote health and denormalize tobacco use.
Tobacco advertising in china compared to thailand australia usaAlexander Li
油
1) The study compared awareness of tobacco advertising and promotion among smokers in China, Thailand, Australia, and the US - countries with different tobacco control policies.
2) In China, over a third of smokers reported noticing tobacco advertisements on television, billboards, and in stores - the highest levels of any country. A quarter noticed tobacco sponsorships.
3) Overall awareness of tobacco marketing was significantly higher in China than in Thailand and Australia, but lower than in the US, indicating a gap between China and countries with stronger tobacco control policies.
4) China needs to do more to restrict tobacco promotion, including enhancing policies and enforcement, to reduce high levels of marketing awareness among smokers.
Over the past 50 years, cigarette smoking and other combusted tobacco products have caused over 20 million American deaths. The tobacco epidemic was driven by misleading and aggressive strategies of the tobacco industry. While electronic nicotine delivery systems like e-cigarettes may help reduce harm if they replace combusted tobacco entirely, they must be regulated to prevent youth uptake and minimize risks. The 2014 Surgeon General's report recommends fully funding tobacco control programs, raising cigarette taxes, and making cessation treatment widely available to continue progress against the tobacco epidemic.
The document discusses the Tobacco Products Directive and its priorities for review. It argues that the Directive is an opportunity to [1] implement measures that help prevent children from starting smoking, such as requiring packs that fully inform consumers about health risks and removing appealing tastes. [2] Around 80 million children in the EU are at risk of starting smoking. [3] A successful Directive with a ban on marketing techniques and additives could decrease tobacco consumption by 2% over 5 years, saving billions of euros and thousands of lives.

Dr. Jaymee Shells Perspective on COVID-19Jaymee Shell
油
Dr. Jaymee Shell views the COVID-19 pandemic as both a crisis that exposed weaknesses and an opportunity to build stronger systems. She emphasizes that the pandemic revealed critical healthcare inequities while demonstrating the power of collaboration and adaptability.
Shell highlights that organizations with gender-diverse executive teams are 25% more likely to experience above-average profitability, positioning diversity as a business necessity rather than just a moral imperative. She notes that the pandemic disproportionately affected women of color, with one in three women considering leaving or downshifting their careers.
To combat inequality, Shell recommends implementing flexible work policies, establishing clear metrics for diversity in leadership, creating structured virtual collaboration spaces, and developing comprehensive wellness programs. For healthcare providers specifically, she advocates for multilingual communication systems, mobile health units, telehealth services with alternatives for those lacking internet access, and cultural competency training.
Shell emphasizes the importance of mental health support through culturally appropriate resources, employee assistance programs, and regular check-ins. She calls for diverse leadership teams that reflect the communities they serve and community-centered care models that address social determinants of health.
In her words: "The COVID-19 pandemic didn't create healthcare inequalities it illuminated them." She urges building systems that reach every community and provide dignified care to all.

Creatines Untold Story and How 30-Year-Old Lessons Can Shape the FutureSteve Jennings
油
Creatine burst into the public consciousness in 1992 when an investigative reporter inside the Olympic Village in Barcelona caught wind of British athletes using a product called Ergomax C150. This led to an explosion of interest in and questions about the ingredient after high-profile British athletes won multiple gold medals.
I developed Ergomax C150, working closely with the late and great Dr. Roger Harris (1944 2024), and Prof. Erik Hultman (1925 2011), the pioneering scientists behind the landmark studies of creatine and athletic performance in the early 1990s.
Thirty years on, these are the slides I used at the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit 2025 to share the story, the lessons from that time, and how and why creatine will play a pivotal role in tomorrows high-growth active nutrition and healthspan categories.
