How a low-nicotine cigarette policy could improve public health

Reducing nicotine content in cigarettes can decrease addiction. A study compared low-nicotine cigarette use to regular cigarettes and alternative nicotine products. Results showed low-nicotine users smoked fewer cigarettes and had more smoke-free days, with increased quitting efforts. Participants using low-nicotine cigarettes showed reduced toxicant exposure and lower dependence scores compared to regular cigarette users. The study suggests that low-nicotine cigarettes, combined with non-combusted nicotine products, can aid smoking cessation and reduce harm. It advocates for implementing nicotine reduction standards in all tobacco products to curb addiction and promote quitting.
