We Vape’s Mark Oates: Why Resist Harm Reduction?
The UK's contrasting treatment of snus, nicotine pouches and heated tobacco raises questions about the consistency of its approach to tobacco harm reduction.
Despite Sweden's experience with smoke-free nicotine products, snus remains banned for sale in Britain, while cigarettes continue to be widely available. Consumer advocates argue that these restrictions can make it harder for smokers to find alternatives that suit their needs.
The debate highlights the importance of consumer choice, proportionate regulation and access to different lower-risk products. Smoking cessation strategies should recognise that no single alternative works for everyone.
