Dr. Michael Siegel, an expert in tobacco harm reduction, advocates for the positive role of safer nicotine products like vapes. Despite opposition from the public health community, he emphasizes the benefits of harm reduction strategies. Siegel argues against the demonization of nicotine use and highlights the ineffectiveness of traditional approaches in tobacco control. He supports regulating nicotine levels in cigarettes to aid smokers in quitting.
