A Tobacco Harm Reduction Primer
Des pays comme le Royaume-Uni et la Suède prouvent qu'il est possible de réduire le tabagisme grâce à une politique ouverte aux produits nicotiniques alternatifs. L'objectif d'un monde sans tabac peut être atteint si les gouvernements s'inspirent des meilleures pratiques. Les pays où l'adoption de produits nicotiniques alternatifs, tels que le vapotage, le tabac chauffé, les sachets de nicotine et le snus, est relativement élevée, constatent généralement une baisse du tabagisme plus rapide que les autres. Il est temps de s'inspirer des meilleures pratiques.

A Tobacco Harm Reduction Primer
Ce rapport présente les résultats de deux enquêtes nationales sur la réduction des risques liés au vapotage, menées en Allemagne et en France. Il s'appuie sur 30 entretiens avec des médecins généralistes et une enquête quantitative auprès de 862 fumeurs français et allemands. L'objectif principal de cette étude est de mieux comprendre les idées reçues sur le vapotage, leur impact et d'identifier des pistes pour les contrer.
In addition to our own research, we compiled a list of misperceptions around vaping and nicotine in several countries.

What is Harm Reduction?
The goal of harm reduction is to reduce the adverse effects of a certain activity. Classic examples of harm reduction are seat belts or cycling helmets. They don’t make driving perfectly safe but reduce the potential harm drastically. The reason why they work is that they are practical. A total driving ban would decrease the risk of driving the most, but it is just unrealistic. That is why we try to make driving as safe as possible. Harm Reduction means putting practical solutions first instead of idealized goals which don’t work in practice.

Christmas is the perfect time to travel to another country. We can all agree that there’s nothing more exciting than discovering different countries during the holiday period. Meanwhile, considering sprawling regulations on vaping and alternative nicotine products worldwide, vapers should always carefully plan their travel.
The World Vapers’ Alliance’s research “Price Comparison of Vaping & Co in Europe” categorises and ranks 13 European countries based on some nicotine product availability and prices.
More than eight million people die each year due to smoking, with almost 99% of tobacco-related deaths caused by smoking — not from other forms of nicotine consumption. Reducing the number of smokers and allowing them to rapidly and efficiently switch to a less harmful alternative should be a major priority for governments and public health agencies worldwide. Unfortunately, too many people confuse nicotine consumption with the diseases caused by smoking. In this paper, we outline six main reasons why the war on nicotine is pointless and should stop.
The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), which was adopted in 2014, includes provisions on the “manufacture, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products”
Currently, the EU is discussing the next TPD reform and how to include new nicotine
alternatives. Unfortunately, it seems the EU aims to continue its hostile and unwarranted attack on vaping and other harm reducing products. Flavour bans, higher taxes
and further restrictions are on the table.
Vaping has been extensively accused of being a gateway to smoking for adults and adolescents. Multiple studies have aimed to undermine the credibility of e-cigarettes as a cessation tool, and there is an urgent need to shift the Overton window of the debate and outline a science-based perspective that policyma- kers can use to enhance the wellbeing of consumers.
This paper aims to debunk several aspects of the “gateway ar- gument” and provide an alternative perspective as to why vaping actually helps conventional smokers divert from traditional and harmful tobacco consumption.
