Open Science, June 2022

      An open conversation on the science behind smoke-free alternatives​

      For our seventh Open Science event, we focused on the concept of tobacco harm reduction and the role scientifically substantiated smoke-free products can play by complementing existing tobacco control measures. We also discussed why the absence of combustion is an important first step in a harm reduction approach to smoking.

       

      This Open Science event walked viewers through the science behind our smoke-free alternatives and discussed why completely switching to tobacco- or nicotine-containing products that do not burn tobacco, has the potential to present less risk of harm for adult smokers than continued smoking.
