Two weeks ago we hosted a workshop on tobacco harm reduction. We discussed the evidence that shows innovative nicotine alternative products, such as tobacco-free pouches and e-cigarettes, can deliver nicotine with a drastically reduced toxicant profile compared to traditional tobacco products.
We are pleased to announce that there will be a tobacco harm reduction workshop and training stream running on the 30th of October 2020 at the Gelian Hotel in Machakos county, Kenya. Media and health experts based in Kenya, will be successfully oriented into the concept of tobacco harm reduction through the workshop.
Just how do we help them kick this deadly habit? And how do we persuade other smokers that it is a good idea to follow suit?
A sensible start would be to reject calls for tobacco-style restrictions on nicotine pouches.
