I \u00e5ratal,<\/span> offentlig<\/span> Samtalet kring nikotin har dominerats av ett ord:<\/span> ungdom<\/span>. <\/span>Varje rubrik, pressmeddelande och policyf\u00f6rslag verkar kretsa kring r\u00e4dslan <\/span>att en ny generation st\u00e5r p\u00e5 gr\u00e4nsen till nikotinberoende.<\/span> Men<\/span> n\u00e5gonstans l\u00e4ngs <\/span>p\u00e5 s\u00e4tt och vis slutade samtalet handla om bevis och b\u00f6rjade handla om <\/span>antaganden.<\/span>
Och det \u00e4r d\u00e4r det verkliga problemet b\u00f6rjar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Uppgifterna st\u00e4mmer inte \u00f6verens med paniken <\/span><\/h4>\n

Om du lyssnar p\u00e5<\/span> retorik<\/span>, skulle du<\/span> tror att nikotinanv\u00e4ndningen bland ungdomar exploderar. Men n\u00e4r du <\/span>faktiskt titta p\u00e5<\/span> tal<\/span>, framtr\u00e4der en helt annan historia. <\/span>Ungdomars cigarettr\u00f6kning \u00e4r p\u00e5 den l\u00e4gsta niv\u00e5n n\u00e5gonsin<\/span> inspelad<\/span>.

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
Det betyder inte att ungdomars anv\u00e4ndning \u00e4r noll, och det betyder inte att problemet ska ignoreras. <\/span>Men tanken att vi \u00e4r<\/span> att st\u00e5 inf\u00f6r en exempell\u00f6s nikotinkris f\u00f6r ungdomar \u00e4r helt enkelt inte <\/span>st\u00f6dd av den l\u00e5nga<\/span>\u2013<\/span>l\u00e5ngsiktiga trender. Faktum \u00e4r att vi lever med den l\u00e4gsta andelen ungdomar som r\u00f6ker <\/span>r\u00e4ntor i modern historia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Den saknade gruppen: Vuxna som fortfarande r\u00f6ker<\/span><\/h4>\n
Medan beslutsfattare och aktivister n\u00e4stan uteslutande fokuserar p\u00e5 ungdomar, \u00e4r en annan grupp <\/span>ofta utel\u00e4mnade helt och h\u00e5llet fr\u00e5n samtalet: de miljontals vuxna som fortfarande r\u00f6ker <\/span>cigaretter<\/span>. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cigaretter \u00e4r fortfarande den farligaste nikotinprodukten med r\u00e5ge. De d\u00f6dar <\/span>n\u00e4stan h\u00e4lften av deras l\u00e5nga<\/span>\u2013<\/span>termanv\u00e4ndare. De \u00e4r ansvariga f\u00f6r hj\u00e4rtsjukdomar, lungcancer, <\/span>KOL och otaliga andra tillst\u00e5nd. Varje \u00e5r drabbas hundratusentals <\/span>amerikaner<\/span> d\u00f6 av r\u00f6kning<\/span>\u2013<\/span>relaterade sjukdomar. <\/span>Detta \u00e4r inte abstrakt statistik. De representerar f\u00f6r\u00e4ldrar, mor- och farf\u00f6r\u00e4ldrar, kollegor och <\/span>v\u00e4nner.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Och \u00e4nd\u00e5 behandlar m\u00e5nga policyer alla nikotinprodukter som om de medf\u00f6r samma riskniv\u00e5. <\/span>Det tillv\u00e4gag\u00e5ngss\u00e4ttet ignorerar en av de mest grundl\u00e4ggande principerna inom folkh\u00e4lsan:<\/span> inte alla risker<\/span>
\u00e4r lika<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n


Riskkontinuumet \u00e4r verkligt<\/span><\/h4>\n
F\u00f6rbr\u00e4nning \u00e4r det som g\u00f6r cigaretter s\u00e5 d\u00f6dliga. F\u00f6rbr\u00e4nning av tobak skapar tusentals <\/span>kemikalier, varav dussintals \u00e4r k\u00e4nda cancerframkallande. Det \u00e4r d\u00e4rf\u00f6r cigaretter \u00e4r s\u00e5 <\/span>skadlig.<\/span>
Icke<\/span>\u2013<\/span>br\u00e4nnbara produkter<\/span>\u2014<\/span>som nikotinp\u00e5sar, uppv\u00e4rmd tobak eller vaping <\/span>produkter<\/span>\u2014<\/span>inneb\u00e4r inte att man br\u00e4nner tobak. Det g\u00f6r dem inte ofarliga, men det g\u00f6r det <\/span>g\u00f6ra dem<\/span> betydligt mindre<\/span> skadlig<\/span> \u00e4n r\u00f6kning. <\/span>Detta \u00e4r grunden f\u00f6r att minska tobaksskador: om n\u00e5gon inte kan eller vill sluta med nikotin <\/span>helt och h\u00e5llet, byter till en l\u00e4gre<\/span>\u2013<\/span>riskprodukten \u00e4r en meningsfull f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttring f\u00f6r deras h\u00e4lsa. <\/span>Detta \u00e4r inte en marginell id\u00e9. L\u00e4nder som<\/span> Sverige<\/span> har anammat det. Som ett resultat har Sverige <\/span>har nu den l\u00e4gsta r\u00f6kningsgraden i Europa och en av de l\u00e4gsta r\u00f6kningsgraden<\/span>\u2013 <\/span>relaterade sjukdomar. De n\u00e5dde inte dit genom f\u00f6rbud eller skr\u00e4mselkampanjer. De n\u00e5dde dit genom att ge r\u00f6kare alternativ.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

"Ringen"<\/span>\u2013<\/span>Argumentet "St\u00e4ngsel" faller is\u00e4r<\/span><\/h4>\n
Ett vanligt p\u00e5st\u00e5ende \u00e4r att alternativa nikotinprodukter bara finns f\u00f6r att h\u00e5lla r\u00f6kare <\/span>beroende<\/span>\u2014<\/span>att "ringa"<\/span>\u2013<\/span>staket"\u201d<\/span> dem,<\/span> s\u00e5 de slutade aldrig. <\/span><\/div>\n
Men verklig<\/span>\u2013<\/span>V\u00e4rldsbevisen ber\u00e4ttar en annan historia. <\/span>Miljontals vuxna har slutat r\u00f6ka helt genom att byta till icke-r\u00f6kare.<\/span>\u2013<\/span>br\u00e4nnbar <\/span>produkter. I<\/span> Storbritannien<\/span>...h\u00e4lsomyndigheterna st\u00f6der \u00f6ppet vaping som ett s\u00e4tt att sluta r\u00f6ka <\/span>verktyg. I<\/span> Sverige<\/span>, utbredd anv\u00e4ndning av orala nikotinprodukter har sammanfallit med dramatiska <\/span>minskningar av r\u00f6kning och r\u00f6kning<\/span>\u2013<\/span>relaterade d\u00f6dsfall.<\/span>
Om dessa produkter bara fanns f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 folk att forts\u00e4tta r\u00f6ka, skulle vi inte se dessa. <\/span>resultat.<\/span><\/div>\n


Skydd av ungdomar och minskning av vuxenskadest\u00e5nd \u00e4r inte motsatser <\/span><\/h4>\n
En av de st\u00f6rsta missuppfattningarna i den h\u00e4r debatten \u00e4r id\u00e9n att man m\u00e5ste v\u00e4lja <\/span>mellan att skydda ungdomar och hj\u00e4lpa vuxna r\u00f6kare.<\/span> B\u00e5de<\/span> m\u00e5l kan<\/span>\u2014<\/span>och borde<\/span>\u2014 <\/span>existera samtidigt. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vi har redan federala lagar som g\u00f6r det olagligt att s\u00e4lja nikotinprodukter till <\/span>alla under 21 \u00e5r. Till\u00e4mpning, utbildning och ansvarsfulla detaljhandelsmetoder \u00e4r <\/span>v\u00e4sentligt. Ingen inom skademinskningsomr\u00e5det h\u00e4vdar n\u00e5got annat. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Men att eliminera eller kraftigt begr\u00e4nsa l\u00e4gre<\/span>\u2013<\/span>Riskprodukter f\u00f6r vuxna skyddar inte ungdomar <\/span>p\u00e5 ett meningsfullt s\u00e4tt. Det l\u00e4mnar bara miljontals r\u00f6kare med f\u00e4rre alternativ att sluta <\/span>fr\u00e5n den farligaste formen av nikotin.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

N\u00e4r politik ignorerar vetenskap<\/span><\/h4>\n
Faran med att ignorera ungdomsdata \u00e4r att det leder till politik baserad p\u00e5 r\u00e4dsla snarare \u00e4n <\/span>fakta. N\u00e4r ber\u00e4ttelsen inte st\u00e4mmer \u00f6verens med bevisen tenderar l\u00f6sningarna att missa <\/span>verkligt problem.<\/span>
Om r\u00f6kningen bland unga \u00e4r historiskt l\u00e5g, \u00e4r det en framg\u00e5ngssaga. Det \u00e4r n\u00e5got att bygga vidare p\u00e5, inte <\/span>en anledning att f\u00f6rdubbla satsningen p\u00e5 politik som tar bort s\u00e4krare alternativ f\u00f6r vuxna. <\/span>Folkh\u00e4lsa b\u00f6r handla om att minska skador<\/span> d\u00e4r det \u00e4r m\u00f6jligt<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Det betyder:<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Att h\u00e5lla nikotinprodukter utom r\u00e4ckh\u00e5ll f\u00f6r minder\u00e5riga<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Tillhandah\u00e5lla korrekt information om relativa risker<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> Att ge vuxna r\u00f6kare tillg\u00e5ng till l\u00e4gre<\/span>\u2013<\/span>riskalternativ<\/span>
Dessa m\u00e5l \u00e4r inte motstridiga. De f\u00f6rst\u00e4rker faktiskt varandra.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/h4>\n

Den verkliga fr\u00e5gan<\/span><\/h4>\n
Den verkliga fr\u00e5gan \u00e4r inte om nikotin \u00e4r helt s\u00e4kert.<\/span>
Den verkliga fr\u00e5gan \u00e4r om det \u00e4r b\u00e4ttre f\u00f6r n\u00e5gon att r\u00f6ka cigaretter<\/span>\u2014<\/span>eller att byta till <\/span>n\u00e5got avsev\u00e4rt<\/span> mindre skadligt<\/span>.<\/span>
F\u00f6r miljontals vuxna spelar den skillnaden roll. Det kan inneb\u00e4ra f\u00e4rre sjukhusbes\u00f6k, f\u00e4rre <\/span>kroniska sjukdomar, och i m\u00e5nga fall ett l\u00e4ngre liv.<\/span><\/div>\n

Att ignorera ungdomars data och vuxnas behov samtidigt skyddar inte folkh\u00e4lsan. <\/span>skapar bara politik som l\u00e5ter bra i rubrikerna men misslyckas i verkligheten.<\/span>
Och n\u00e4r det g\u00e4ller n\u00e5got s\u00e5 allvarligt som r\u00f6kning<\/span>\u2013<\/span>relaterad sjukdom, har vi inte r\u00e5d med <\/span>att ignorera bevisen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
