Millions switch from cigarettes as consumers ignore anti-vaping slogans
Millions of consumers are turning to safer nicotine products amid anti-vaping campaigns, as discussed at a recent forum. The $350 billion global market for alternatives like e-cigarettes and heated tobacco has attracted over 120 million users. These products, supported by growing scientific evidence, offer less harmful options that could prevent numerous smoking-related deaths. Advocates criticize groups denying harm reduction potential and emphasize consumer-driven progress. Regulations should recognize innovation and risks. Critics are accused of prioritizing slogans over evidence, potentially endangering both adult smokers and youth.
