Reduced-Nicotine Cigarettes — A Promising Regulatory Pathway
Mené auprès de 840 participants fumant au moins 5 cigarettes par jour (âge : 18 ans ou plus), cet essai randomisé évalue l'intérêt de diminuer la quantité de nicotine dans les cigarettes pour réduire la dépendance au tabac et sa consommation
In 1976, tobacco researcher Michael Russell wrote that “People smoke for the nicotine but they die from the tar"— suggesting a potential regulatory pathway for eliminating the key harms arising from tobacco use. That is, by reducing or eliminating nicotine from combustible-tobacco products, we might be able to dramatically reduce their use and smokers' dependence on them, averting the harm they caused.
