Vape flavours are a vital and effective tool helping smokers make the life-saving switch, top cardiologist says
Global health expert Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos advocates for governments to embrace safer nicotine products, emphasizing that combustion, not nicotine, causes smoking-related deaths. He highlights Sweden's success in reducing smoking rates through alternatives like snus and e-cigarettes. Dr. Farsalinos stresses the importance of flavors in aiding smoking cessation and warns against banning them. He urges policymakers to prioritize evidence-based regulations and support smokers in switching to safer options. Countries like New Zealand and the UK have seen significant reductions in smoking rates due to vaping. On World Vape Day, Dr. Farsalinos urges a shift towards science-based approaches to make nicotine consumption safer and save lives.
