Commentary: Dr. Matthew Holman — FDA Getting It Right on Youth Vaping

The message that all Americans need to hear from health experts is a simple one: If you don’t use tobacco products now, don’t start. If you smoke, quitting is the best choice. If you don’t quit, change to a smoke-free alternative. This message is supported by science, as evidenced by FDA’s authorization of nicotine products that, for adult smokers who completely switch to them, can significantly reduce their exposure to the harmful chemicals found in smoke or, for some products, reduce the risk of lung cancer and other smoking-related diseases.
