Tobacco Harm Reduction

Tobacco Harm Reduction refers to strategies aimed at minimizing the health risks associated with tobacco use. Rather than advocating for complete abstinence, it encourages alternatives like vaping or nicotine replacement therapies, which can deliver nicotine with fewer harmful chemicals than traditional cigarettes. This approach recognizes that while quitting tobacco is ideal, many users may struggle to quit entirely. By offering safer options, Tobacco Harm Reduction seeks to lessen the health impact on those who continue to use tobacco, ultimately aiming to reduce diseases related to smoking while promoting ways to eventually quit altogether.
