Is it ethical to prohibit nicotine products?

Prohibiting non-combustible nicotine products risks protecting cigarettes rather than public health. When lower-risk alternatives are restricted or banned, adult smokers may be left with fewer realistic options to move away from combustible tobacco. Effective nicotine policy should distinguish between use and harm, prioritising reduced exposure, accurate risk communication and proportionate regulation.
