Reduced risk tobacco products and reduced risk nicotine delivery systems can help smokers quit. The public health officials, and the ones at the American cancer society, et cetera, are so invested in their hatred and mistrust of the tobacco companies that they can't look at the big picture and say, hey listen, we're in The 21st Century.
Picture this: you're trying to quit smoking, but the usual methods just aren't cutting it. In this engaging episode of 'Harm Reduction Radio - HAMS', host Kenneth Anderson chats with Dr. Gilbert Ross, Executive Director of the American Council on Science and Health. Dr. Ross, who penned the Forbes article 'How Health Regulators Are Killing American Smokers', dives into the world of tobacco harm reduction strategies.
From Swedish snus to electronic cigarettes, he offers a thorough look at various smokeless tobacco products that could make quitting easier and safer. Dr. Ross doesn't shy away from busting myths either. He tackles common misconceptions about these products head-on, explaining how they can actually help reduce the risks associated with traditional smoking. You'll also hear about the often-overlooked role of tobacco companies in promoting these reduced-risk alternatives. According to Dr.
Ross, public health officials' deep-seated mistrust of these companies sometimes blinds them to the potential benefits of these products. If you're curious about how alternative nicotine delivery systems can aid in smoking cessation, this episode is a must-listen. It's not just about quitting; it's about finding safer ways to do it. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that challenges conventional views and offers fresh perspectives on tobacco harm reduction.
