Smokeless products: Science doesn't wait for policy.
Scientific research on smoke-free nicotine products continues to advance, even in countries where these products face restrictions or outright bans.
Singapore, Thailand and Australia continue to examine consumer behaviour and regulatory outcomes, while research from Japan and the United States is contributing to a better understanding of toxicant exposure and potential health effects.
For Vietnam, these international experiences highlight the importance of ongoing scientific evaluation. Distinguishing between nicotine products, assessing relative risks and monitoring real-world outcomes can support more informed tobacco control policies without overlooking the uncertainties surrounding long-term health effects.
