Tobacco policy should reflect the world as it is

Tobacco policy should reflect the choices smokers actually face. Cigarettes remain widely available, while legal smoke-free alternatives often encounter stricter scrutiny despite their potential to help adults move away from combustion. Effective regulation must protect young people without ignoring adult smokers, illicit markets or differences in relative risk. Public health should be judged by outcomes, not moral panic around nicotine.
