WHY ARE THE SAFER NICOTINE PRODUCTS GETTING BANNED?

The debate over safer nicotine products is intensifying as more countries introduce bans and stricter regulations. Questions are being raised about why alternatives considered less harmful are increasingly restricted while traditional cigarettes remain widely available. Critics argue that such policies may contradict existing evidence on harm reduction. There are also concerns that tighter rules could push consumers back to smoking or toward unregulated markets. The issue highlights growing tensions between public health goals and current regulatory approaches worldwide.
